Technical Definition

The register Grid Current L1 at address 532 is used to monitor grid current l1 on the Powmr Inverter 1.

  • Protocol: Modbus RTU
  • Data Type: INT16
  • 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 Grid Current L1 (Address: 532)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=532, 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 Current L1"
  address: 532
  value_type: INT16
  unit_of_measurement: "A"

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Grid Current L1: Measures the alternating current flowing from the inverter to the grid on Line 1. Unit: Amperes (A).

Troubleshooting: Check inverter output, grid connection stability, and load on L1 phase. Low/zero may indicate no production or grid fault.
