Rv Batt Sg5K Modbus Register 61512: Accumulated Grid Power

Technical Definition

The register Accumulated Grid Power at address 61512 is used to monitor accumulated grid power on the Rv Batt Sg5K.

• 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 Accumulated Grid Power (Address: 61512)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=61512, 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: "Accumulated Grid Power"
  address: 61512
  value_type: U_WORD
  unit_of_measurement: "kWh"

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Total energy (Wh) exchanged with the grid. Positive for export, negative for import. Units: Watt-hours (Wh).

Troubleshooting: Zero suggests no grid interaction. Verify grid connection, inverter settings, and load/generation balance.
