Functionality request

Hi I would like to have a button to switch off in total the Deye inverter, I believe modbus register 80 makes this possible ?

How do I add this to the yaml ?

Please note this will not turn off he inverter completly it will only stop the inverter/charging function. The display etc. will still be operational.
Further it throws a F19, that is rather undocumented, so proceed with caution. Fx. if you turn it off, and for some reason you loose connection via.modbus you will not be able to turn it on via. the Display again.

Add this to your "Switch" segment in the YAML, and edit name, modbus ID etc. to your needs.

switch:

• platform: modbus_controller
  use_write_multiple: true
  modbus_controller_id: Put your modbus_controller_id here
  name: Deye12k_Power_switch
  register_type: holding
  address: 80
  bitmask: 1
  entity_category: config

will it also stop the discharging of the battery ? Thanks by the way !

My goals is to switch the Deye off when a fire alarm is triggered in my smart home system for safety reasons.

It should. The inverter trips and stops all inverting. But test it out for yourself, again there is very little documentation for what it does, and throwing an error is also wierd.
As an alternative you could re-wire the on/off switch of the inverter to a external Relay controlled via ESP32 (ESPhome) this way you can use the existing built-in function to start/stop the inverter. 2.nd alternative is to mount a "Switchbot" on top of the button to physically push the button.
