Powmr Inverter 1 Modbus Register 61488: Power Consumption Today

Technical Definition

The register Power Consumption Today at address 61488 is used to monitor power consumption today on the Powmr Inverter 1.

• 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 Power Consumption Today (Address: 61488)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=61488, 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: "Power Consumption Today"
  address: 61488
  value_type: U_WORD
  unit_of_measurement: "kWh"

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Total energy consumed from the grid by the inverter's auxiliary systems today. Units: Kilowatt-hours (kWh).

Troubleshooting: Zero is unlikely unless completely offline. High values may indicate operational inefficiencies or faults.
