Technical Definition

The register name inverter name firmware control board at address 13 is used to monitor name inverter name firmware control board on the Deye Inverter Entities Advanced.

  • Protocol: Modbus RTU
  • Data Type: INT16
  • Unit:
  • 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 firmware control board (Address: 13)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=13, 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 firmware control board"
  address: 13
  value_type: INT16
  unit_of_measurement: ""
