Technical Definition

The register name inverter name battery capacity restart at address 218 is used to monitor name inverter name battery capacity restart on the Deye Inverter Entities Sensor.

  • 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 battery capacity restart (Address: 218)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=218, 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 battery capacity restart"
  address: 218
  value_type: INT16
  unit_of_measurement: "%"

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Battery SoC (%) at which the inverter will restart charging or supplying power after a shutdown.

Troubleshooting: Zero might signify an issue with the restart condition or communication. Verify BMS and inverter settings.
