Technical Definition

The register friendly name Day Load Energy at address 84 is used to monitor friendly name day load energy on the inverter.

  • Protocol: Modbus RTU
  • Data Type: U WORD
  • Unit: kWh
  • 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 friendly_name Day Load Energy (Address: 84)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=84, 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: "friendly_name Day Load Energy"
  address: 84
  value_type: U_WORD
  unit_of_measurement: "kWh"

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Represents the total energy consumed by the load for the current day. Units are typically kWh or MWh.

Troubleshooting: Zero value may indicate no load operation or an issue with the energy measurement circuitry/configuration.
