Reads weather station data from WARIOWEATHER COMPACT via Modbus TCP.
Overview
Template for reading weather data from the WARIO WARIOWEATHER COMPACT (ME13) weather station via Modbus TCP. It captures temperature, wind speed, wind gusts, wind direction, humidity, atmospheric pressure, and daily rainfall. This is a read-only template with no control registers.

Atmospheric pressure
Daily rainfall
Use cases
Monitor live temperature, humidity, and pressure readings on a cloud dashboard for building management.
Create alerts when wind gusts exceed a defined threshold to protect rooftop equipment or solar panels.
Log daily rainfall data to support irrigation scheduling or stormwater management decisions.
Track wind speed and direction trends over time for site assessments or energy production forecasting.
Combine weather data with solar inverter readings to correlate PV output with irradiance and temperature.
Installation
1Mount the WARIOWEATHER COMPACT (ME13) in an exposed location following the manufacturer's installation guide and connect it to the local IP network.
2Ensure Modbus TCP is enabled on the weather station and note its IP address and Modbus TCP port (typically 502).
3Connect your ModbusCloud gateway (MCG or MLP series) to the same local network and verify it can reach the weather station IP address.
4Import the WARIOWEATHER COMPACT (ME13) template in the ModbusCloud platform and assign the correct IP address and port of the weather station.
5Verify that live readings for temperature, wind, humidity, pressure, and rainfall appear on your ModbusCloud dashboard after the first polling cycle.
Things to watch for
01
Which register data types does this template use?
All registers are either int16 or uint16 in the address range 1001 to 1010. Exposure and daily rainfall use uint16. All other parameters use int16.
02
I see zero values for all readings after connecting. What should I check?
Confirm the weather station IP address and Modbus TCP port are correct in the template configuration. Verify the station is reachable from the gateway using a ping or Modbus TCP scanner tool.
03
Does this template support writing setpoints or controlling the weather station?
No. The WARIOWEATHER COMPACT is a read-only device. The template contains no write or control registers.
04
Can I use this template for both the WARIOWEATHER COMPACT and WARIOWEATHER ME13?
Yes. Both model names refer to the same device and share the same Modbus register map. The template works with either designation.
