Device Growatt Spf Modbus Register 3: Name inverter name pv1 power

Technical Definition

The register name inverter name pv1 power at address 3 is used to monitor name inverter name pv1 power on the Device Growatt Spf.

• Protocol: Modbus RTU
• Data Type: U DWORD
• Unit: W
• 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 name_inverter_name_pv1_power (Address: 3)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=3, 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: "name_inverter_name_pv1_power"
  address: 3
  value_type: U_DWORD
  unit_of_measurement: "W"
