Technical Definition

The register Load L1 Power at address 650 is used to monitor load 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 Load L1 Power (Address: 650)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=650, 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: "Load L1 Power"
  address: 650
  value_type: S_WORD
  unit_of_measurement: "W"

Connection Diagram

Here is the standard RS485 wiring for this configuration:

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Measures the active power consumed by the load on Line 1, in Watts (W).

Troubleshooting: Zero may indicate no load on L1 or a sensor fault. Verify L1 load and connection.
