Technical Definition

The register Inverter L1 Power at address 633 is used to monitor inverter l1 power on the sunsynk.

  • Protocol: Modbus RTU
  • Data Type: S WORD
  • Unit: W
  • 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 Inverter L1 Power (Address: 633)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=633, 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: "Inverter L1 Power"
  address: 633
  value_type: S_WORD
  unit_of_measurement: "W"

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Total real power output from the inverter to the load or grid. Units: Watts (W).

Troubleshooting: Zero if inverter is off, not producing, or during inverter startup/shutdown. Check inverter status and load conditions.
