Technical Definition

The register Accumulated Load Power at address 61498 is used to monitor accumulated load power on the Esp32 Srne Asf Example.

  • Protocol: Modbus RTU
  • Data Type: U 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 Accumulated Load Power (Address: 61498)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=61498, 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: "Accumulated Load Power"
  address: 61498
  value_type: U_WORD
  unit_of_measurement: "kWh"

Connection Diagram

Here is the standard RS485 wiring for this configuration:

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Accumulated load power consumed over the system's lifetime (in kWh). Historical energy usage data.

Troubleshooting: Likely non-zero once operational. If zero after significant time, check load operation and measurement system. Ensure loads were active.
