Technical Definition

The register inverter name Load Input Power at address 12554 is used to monitor inverter name load input power on the Epever Inverter Entities Sensor.

  • Protocol: Modbus RTU
  • Data Type: U DWORD R
  • Unit: W
  • 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 inverter_name Load Input Power (Address: 12554)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=12554, 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: "inverter_name Load Input Power"
  address: 12554
  value_type: U_DWORD_R
  unit_of_measurement: "W"

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Load input power consumed by the inverter. Unit: Watts (W).

Troubleshooting: Zero power indicates no load. Significant deviation from expected may signal issues with connected devices or power source.
