Showing non-existing batteries about solaredge_modbus

[nmakel]

Hey Addie, I can't reproduce with the latest version on a SE3500K.

There are two registers that indicate the presence of batteries. If these are not "255" (the unset value) then the entire battery block is read. So, in your case these registers are something other than "255". Could you add print(batteries) to line 525 of __init__.py and run example.py again?

Line 525 is in the middle of the definition of the meters. I assume you mean line 492.
This is what I did:

And this is the outcome:

Ok, so not wholly unexpected. I'd be curious to know what is around those registers. I use the following script to dump large ranges of registers, you could try that and see if there's anything interesting there.

#!/usr/bin/env python3

import argparse

from pymodbus.constants import Endian
from pymodbus.payload import BinaryPayloadDecoder
from pymodbus.client import ModbusTcpClient
from pymodbus.register_read_message import ReadHoldingRegistersResponse


if __name__ == "__main__":
    argparser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
    argparser.add_argument("host", type=str, help="Modbus TCP address")
    argparser.add_argument("port", type=int, help="Modbus TCP port")
    argparser.add_argument("--timeout", type=int, default=1, help="Connection timeout")
    argparser.add_argument("--unit", type=int, default=1, help="Modbus device address")
    args = argparser.parse_args()

    client = ModbusTcpClient(
        host=args.host,
        port=args.port,
        timeout=args.timeout,
    )

    maps = [
        (40000, 40070, "base"),
        (57600, 57665, "battery1"),
        (57865, 57930, "battery2")
    ]

    for start, stop, name in maps:
        print(f"\n{name} block ({start}-{stop})\n")

        for i in range(start, stop):
            result = client.read_holding_registers(i, 1, slave=args.unit)

            if not isinstance(result, ReadHoldingRegistersResponse):
                continue
            if len(result.registers) != 1:
                continue

            value = BinaryPayloadDecoder.fromRegisters(result.registers, byteorder=Endian.Big, wordorder=Endian.Big)

            decoded = value.decode_16bit_uint()
            print(i, decoded)

The output I get is:

battery1 block (57600-57665)

57600 0
57616 0
57632 0
57648 0
57664 255

battery2 block (57865-57930)

57872 0
57888 0
57904 0
57920 255
57921 0

The following is a list of blocks as documented by SolarEdge:

# 40000-40069 base
# 40069-40071 inverter1
# 40120-40190 meter1
# 40295-40364 meter2

Hey @nmakel, just a friendly nudge from my side. How to progress with this?
