Technical Definition

The register name inverter name inverter Temperature at address 1048 is used to monitor name inverter name inverter Temperature on the Device Sofar G3.

  • Protocol: Modbus RTU
  • Data Type: U 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 name_inverter_name_inverter_temperature (Address: 1048)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=1048, 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_inverter_temperature"
  address: 1048
  value_type: U_WORD
  unit_of_measurement: "°C"

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Internal inverter Temperature. Units: degrees Celsius (°C). Monitoring internal heat for optimal operation and longevity.

Troubleshooting: Unusually high readings point to inadequate cooling, high ambient temperatures, or internal component stress, potentially causing shutdown.
