Technical Definition

The register Import Energy at address 72 is used to monitor import energy on the Sdm72Dm V2.

  • Protocol: Modbus RTU
  • Data Type: FP32
  • 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 Import Energy (Address: 72)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=72, 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: "Import Energy"
  address: 72
  value_type: FP32
  unit_of_measurement: "kWh"

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Total energy imported in Kilowatt-hours (kWh). Accumulates energy consumed from the source.

Troubleshooting: Stalled value indicates no consumption. Check device status and power supply.
