Technical Definition
The register sun12k-Heat sink Temperature at address 541 is used to monitor sun12k-heat sink Temperature on the Deye12.
- Protocol: Modbus RTU
- Data Type: S 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 sun12k-Heat sink temperature (Address: 541)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=541, 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: "sun12k-Heat sink temperature"
address: 541
value_type: S_WORD
unit_of_measurement: "°C"

💡 Engineer's Insight
Analysis: Temperature of the inverter's heatsink. Units: Degrees Celsius (°C).
Troubleshooting: A value of 0 or unexpected readings could indicate a faulty Temperature sensor or inadequate cooling.
