  "notes": "Source: DEFA \"Modbus TCP/IP Protocol Parameters\" for DEFA Power, the vendor PDF in DEFA's support documentation tree (https://www.defa.com/content/uploads/Documentation/EV-Charging/DEFA-Power/Support/modbus_documentation.pdf). The document states slave address 255, port 502, big-endian values and uint32 across two registers. It publishes exactly these ten values; the address gaps between them are not documented and are left out. Modbus is disabled by default and must be enabled in the DEFA Power Setup app. All current and power values are documented in mA and mW, converted here to A and W with 0.001; the alive timeout stays in ms. No document date is printed on the PDF. File identity: SHA-256 da6db678ca73eb19a84db8e8c9436c8f82ef8cea56d825a394698e71583061b1 (PDF, downloaded 2026-11-07 from the vendor URL above)."
