Technical Definition

The register active power generation of today at address 502 is used to monitor active power generation of today on the Esp32 S3 Zero Deye8K.

  • Protocol: Modbus RTU
  • Data Type: S 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 active power generation of today (Address: 502)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=502, 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: "active power generation of today"
  address: 502
  value_type: S_WORD
  unit_of_measurement: "kWh"

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Active power generated today (kW). Reset daily at midnight.

Troubleshooting: Zero if no generation today. Check solar irradiance, panel condition, inverter operation, and shading.
