Technical Definition

The register name inverter name pv charging average current at address 234 is used to monitor name inverter name pv charging average current on the Device Smg2.

  • Protocol: Modbus RTU
  • Data Type: S WORD
  • Unit: A
  • 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_pv_charging_average_current (Address: 234)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=234, 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_pv_charging_average_current"
  address: 234
  value_type: S_WORD
  unit_of_measurement: "A"

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Average current (Amps) from PV during charging. Represents solar contribution to charging.

Troubleshooting: Zero if no solar input, shading, faulty PV panel, or inverter issue. Verify PV system output.
