Esp32 S3 Zero Deye8K Modbus Register 591: Battery output current

Technical Definition

The register Battery output current at address 591 is used to monitor battery output current on the Esp32 S3 Zero Deye8K.

• Protocol: Modbus RTU
• Data Type: S WORD
• Unit: A
• 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 Battery output current (Address: 591)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=591, 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: "Battery output current"
  address: 591
  value_type: S_WORD
  unit_of_measurement: "A"

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: The instantaneous current flowing out of the battery. Units: Amperes (A).

Troubleshooting: Zero current indicates no discharge. Could be normal operation or a limitation/fault.
