Technical Definition
The register Load L2 Power at address 651 is used to monitor load l2 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 L2 Power (Address: 651)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=651, 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 L2 Power"
address: 651
value_type: S_WORD
unit_of_measurement: "W"

💡 Engineer's Insight
Analysis: Measures the active power consumed by the load on Line 2, in Watts (W).
Troubleshooting: Zero may indicate no load on L2 or a sensor fault. Verify L2 load and connection.
