Technical Definition

The register Battery Discharge Today at address 61486 is used to monitor battery discharge today on the Powmr Inverter 1.

  • Protocol: Modbus RTU
  • Data Type: INT16
  • Unit: Ah
  • 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 Battery Discharge Today (Address: 61486)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=61486, 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: "Battery Discharge Today"
  address: 61486
  value_type: INT16
  unit_of_measurement: "Ah"

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Battery Discharge Today (kWh). Cumulative energy discharged from the battery since the start of the day.

Troubleshooting: Zero means no discharging occurred. Check load demand, battery SOC, and inverter's discharge enable status.
