Technical Definition
The register t in at address 13 is used to monitor t in on the Sensors.
- Protocol: Modbus RTU
- Data Type: U WORD
- Unit: °C
- Access: Read Only
How to Read (Python pymodbus)
Use this code snippet to read this specific value via RS485:
from pymodbus.client.sync import ModbusSerialClient
client = ModbusSerialClient(method='rtu', port='/dev/ttyUSB0', baudrate=9600)
client.connect()
# Read t_in (Address: 13)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=13, count=2, unit=1)
if not result.isError():
print(f"Raw Value: {result.registers}")
else:
print("Error reading register")
client.close()
Integration (Home Assistant)
Paste this into your configuration.yaml:
- platform: modbus_controller
name: "t_in"
address: 13
value_type: U_WORD
unit_of_measurement: "°C"

💡 Engineer's Insight
Analysis: Internal Temperature reading (°C or °F). Likely measures the Temperature inside the device or enclosure.
Troubleshooting: Zero could indicate sensor failure, calibration issue, or very low ambient Temperature. Verify sensor connection and environmental conditions.
