Looked at the device image and it says its slave address is 0x0200?
Sorry, not sure what slave means ( still learning this)
I changed sensor address back to 0x0001
but same output

And dipswitch where? =|
Still trying to talk to register 0x01 instead of 0x0001
yes thats what i kept noticing, not sure how to fix that
Some devices have those. Yours might not.
Did you change that or the device address?
found the pdf online
i downloaded it awhile back and couldnt find it
yea

So, taking back a few steps, lets look at the hardware.
Is everything connected correctly? A connected to A? ect?
From sensor:
Yellow to A and White to B, then Red to + Black to - (Not connected to the MAX485 but directly to ESP32 5V and GND)
Green says its “SET” but can be added to + as well so i tried both connected and disconnected from +.
DE+RE on the modbus controller and RE-> GPIO4 (flow control pin), on ESP32
DI modbus to → GPIO01 TX ESP32
RO modbus to → GPIO03 RX ESP32
To TEST i added 5V + GND to the MAX485 board and i see RX lite Yellow and TX random green on the ESP32 board.
But reseting board still no data back from device
i used this to guide me for wiring
I just dont understand why when i change the address HEX to 0x0001 its not taking it. even when i add a diff address of ex: 0x0007 it shows it as 0x07 in the logs. i tried to do a debug but the about is gibberish to me.
Progress! i think i just needed to step away.

but now i have to figure out what i need to do with the incoming data bc its suppose to be from 0-10000
Data Range 0-10000 For 0-100% Default: N/A
But i am not sure what filter or lambda i need to fill out to get there. right now i have the sensor 100% submerged into water and it SHOULD read 10000 no?
The change i made to make it work was the
update_interval: 2s
on the controller
Any thoughts?
Isnt that dependant on the Soiltype?
Ah your right, thats another thing i wanted tofind out is how would i change the type?
You will need to create a number i think: Modbus Controller Number — ESPHome
number:
- platform: modbus_controller
modbus_controller_id: reader1
name: "soil_type"
address: 0x0020
value_type: U_WORD
min_value: 0
max_value: 3
I’m used to using the modbus integration since i only use network based controllers and i just use a service call for these kind of settings.
That sorta worked, but the unit starts to reboot itself every time now.
I am trying to get a reading from all of these in order and the #'s dont seem right. I found the correct pdf for my sensor which has way more features.

When i start with the 1st sensor reading, temp i get the correct one. but then once i start adding moisture, es, etc everything goes wacky. even temp does not have a reading. soil type keeps changing instead of it being 0,1,2, or 3 and is def not the correct output . not sure how to use register count or size in my case and still havnt figured out how to set the soil type
