Technical Definition

The register name inverter name battery discharging energy today at address 71 is used to monitor name inverter name battery discharging energy today on the Deye Inverter Entities Sensor.

  • Protocol: Modbus RTU
  • Data Type: U WORD
  • Unit: kWh
  • 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 discharging energy today (Address: 71)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=71, 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 discharging energy today"
  address: 71
  value_type: U_WORD
  unit_of_measurement: "kWh"

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Total battery discharging energy supplied today by the inverter. Unit is typically kWh.

Troubleshooting: Zero value means no discharging occurred today. Check battery level, load demand, and system operation.
