Meter Chnt Ddsu666 Modbus Register 8200: S

Technical Definition

The register S at address 8200 is used to monitor s on the Meter Chnt Ddsu666.

• Protocol: Modbus RTU
• Data Type: FP32
• Unit: VA
• 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 S (Address: 8200)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=8200, 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: "S"
  address: 8200
  value_type: FP32
  unit_of_measurement: "VA"

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Apparent Power (Volt-Amperes). Measures the total power (real + reactive).

Troubleshooting: Zero if no power is being drawn or supplied. Check connected loads and system power status.
