Sunsynk8.8 Esphome Modbus Register 090: Friendly name DC Transformer Temperature

Technical Definition

The register friendly name DC Transformer Temperature at address 090 is used to monitor friendly name dc transformer Temperature on the Sunsynk8.8 Esphome.

• Protocol: Modbus RTU
• Data Type: S 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 friendly_name DC Transformer Temperature (Address: 090)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=090, 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: "friendly_name DC Transformer Temperature"
  address: 090
  value_type: S_WORD
  unit_of_measurement: "°C"

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Temperature of the DC transformer in degrees Celsius (°C). Indicates thermal conditions of a key component.

Troubleshooting: Zero or erroneous value may indicate sensor failure, wiring issue, or the device is offline. Check physical connections and device status.
