Technical Definition

The register Strom at address 48 is used to monitor strom on the Esphome%20Sdm%20Modbus.

  • Protocol: Modbus RTU
  • Data Type: FP32
  • 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 Strom (Address: 48)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=48, 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: "Strom"
  address: 48
  value_type: FP32
  unit_of_measurement: "A"

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Current flow. Units are Amperes (A). Direction is usually implied by system context or other registers.

Troubleshooting: Zero indicates no current flow. Check for connected loads/sources, circuit breakers, and sensor issues.
