Upower Modbus Register 13621: Inverter state

Technical Definition

The register Inverter state at address 13621 is used to monitor inverter state on the Upower.

• Protocol: Modbus RTU
• Data Type: INT16
• 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 Inverter state (Address: 13621)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=13621, 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 state"
  address: 13621
  value_type: INT16
  unit_of_measurement: ""

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Inverter operational state code. Indicates current operating mode (e.g., running, fault, standby).

Troubleshooting: Error codes require cross-referencing the device manual. Common issues include overload, under-voltage, or over-Temperature faults.
