Technical Definition

The register Inverter Relay state Earth at address 25242 is used to monitor inverter relay state earth on the Esp32 Pv18.

  • 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 Inverter Relay state Earth (Address: 25242)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=25242, 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 Relay state Earth"
  address: 25242
  value_type: INT16
  unit_of_measurement: ""

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Indicates the state of the inverter's earth/ground relay. 1 for ON, 0 for OFF.

Troubleshooting: A 0 might point to an earth fault detection, a relay failure, or an issue with the grounding circuit.
