Technical Definition

The register PV1 Current at address 32017 is used to monitor pv1 current on the Huawei Inverter.

  • 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 PV1 Current (Address: 32017)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=32017, 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 Current"
  address: 32017
  value_type: S_WORD
  unit_of_measurement: "A"

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: PV1 Current: Measures the DC current from the first photovoltaic string. Units: Amperes (A).

Troubleshooting: Zero value suggests no current flow, possibly due to no voltage, bad connections, or shading.
