Inepro Modbus Register 20504: L3 Active Power

Technical Definition

The register L3 Active Power at address 20504 is used to monitor l3 active power on the Inepro.

• Protocol: Modbus RTU
• Data Type: FP32
• Unit: kW
• 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 Active Power (Address: 20504)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=20504, 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 Active Power"
  address: 20504
  value_type: FP32
  unit_of_measurement: "kW"

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Measures the real power consumed by phase L3. Units: Watts (W).

Troubleshooting: Zero if no load on L3. Could indicate a blown fuse, tripped breaker, or wiring issue on L3.
