Esphome Web 51C8D0 Modbus Register 625: Device type-Total Grid Power

Technical Definition

The register device type-Total Grid Power at address 625 is used to monitor device type-total grid power on the Esphome Web 51C8D0.

• Protocol: Modbus RTU
• Data Type: S WORD
• Unit: W
• 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 device_type-Total Grid Power (Address: 625)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=625, 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: "device_type-Total Grid Power"
  address: 625
  value_type: S_WORD
  unit_of_measurement: "W"

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Real-time power drawn from or supplied to the grid. Units: Watts (W) or Kilowatts (kW).

Troubleshooting: Zero if self-sufficient, offline, or inverter fault. Verify grid connection, inverter status, and consumption/generation.
