Technical Definition

The register PV1 Energy Lifetime at address 61 is used to monitor pv1 energy lifetime on the Esphome%20Growatt%20Mod 5000Tl3 Xh.

  • Protocol: Modbus RTU
  • Data Type: U DWORD
  • 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 PV1 Energy Lifetime (Address: 61)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=61, 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: "PV1 Energy Lifetime"
  address: 61
  value_type: U_DWORD
  unit_of_measurement: "kWh"

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Total cumulative energy generated by PV1. Units: kWh.

Troubleshooting: Should increase over time. A static value might indicate a malfunction or data logging issue.
