Technical Definition

The register Fault Message 1 at address 513 is used to monitor fault message 1 on the Sofarme3000Sp.

  • Protocol: Modbus RTU
  • Data Type: U WORD
  • Unit:
  • 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 Fault Message 1 (Address: 513)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=513, 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: "Fault Message 1"
  address: 513
  value_type: U_WORD
  unit_of_measurement: ""
