Inepro Modbus Register 20496: L3 Current

Technical Definition

The register L3 Current at address 20496 is used to monitor l3 current on the Inepro.

• 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 L3 Current (Address: 20496)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=20496, 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: "L3 Current"
  address: 20496
  value_type: FP32
  unit_of_measurement: "A"

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Line 3 current consumption, typically in Amperes (A). Monitors load on phase L3.

Troubleshooting: Examine L3 load, look for wiring issues or equipment malfunction, and ensure proper connections.
