Technical Definition

The register entities name prefix - slave entities prefix name - Total Active Energy Total at address 30343 is used to monitor entities name prefix - slave entities prefix name - total active energy total on the Total Active Energy.

  • Protocol: Modbus RTU
  • Data Type: U DWORD
  • 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 entities_name_prefix - slave_entities_prefix_name - Total Active Energy Total (Address: 30343)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=30343, 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: "entities_name_prefix - slave_entities_prefix_name - Total Active Energy Total"
  address: 30343
  value_type: U_DWORD
  unit_of_measurement: "kWh"
