Versati Iii Modbus Part Modbus Register 38: Gree current limit

Technical Definition

The register gree current limit at address 38 is used to monitor gree current limit on the Versati Iii Modbus Part.

• Protocol: Modbus RTU
• Data Type: U WORD
• Unit: A
• 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 gree_current_limit (Address: 38)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=38, 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: "gree_current_limit"
  address: 38
  value_type: U_WORD
  unit_of_measurement: "A"

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Gree Current Limit (Amps). Maximum current the Gree unit is allowed to draw or supply. Used for system protection.

Troubleshooting: Zero could mean no demand or a fault limiting operation. Check power supply, unit status, and demand signals.
