Deye Inverter Entities Sensor Modbus Register 164: Name inverter name ac output current

Technical Definition

The register name inverter name ac output current at address 164 is used to monitor name inverter name ac output current on the Deye Inverter Entities Sensor.

• 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 ac output current (Address: 164)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=164, 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 ac output current"
  address: 164
  value_type: S_WORD
  unit_of_measurement: "A"

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: AC output current (A). Current delivered to the grid or load. Directly relates to power output.

Troubleshooting: Zero current typically means no power output. Check PV input, grid connection, and inverter status. May indicate inverter fault.
