Technical Definition

The register Grid Voltage L1 at address 531 is used to monitor grid voltage l1 on the Powmr Inverter 1.

  • Protocol: Modbus RTU
  • Data Type: INT16
  • Unit: V
  • 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 Grid Voltage L1 (Address: 531)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=531, 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: "Grid Voltage L1"
  address: 531
  value_type: INT16
  unit_of_measurement: "V"

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: AC voltage of the grid on Line 1. Units are Volts (V). Essential for safe and efficient inverter operation.

Troubleshooting: Zero or low voltage indicates no grid power or a fault. Check main breaker and utility supply. Verify AC input wiring.
