- **address**: (**Required**, integer): start address of the first register in a range
- **bitmask** : some values are packed in a response. The bitmask is used to determined if the result is true or false
- **skip_updates**: (*Optional*, integer): By default all sensors of of a modbus_controller are updated together. For data points that don't change very frequently updates can be skipped. A value of 5 would only update this sensor range in every 5th update cycle
- **register_count**: (*Optional*): only required for uncommon response encodings or to :ref:`optimize modbus communications<modbus_register_count>`
The number of registers this data point spans. Overrides the defaults determined by ``value_type``.
If no value for ``register_count`` is provided, it is calculated based on the register type.
The default size for 1 register is 16 bits (1 Word). Some devices are not adhering to this convention and have registers larger than 16 bits. In this case ``register_count`` and ``response_size`` must be set. For example, if your modbus device uses 1 registers for a FP32 value instead the default of two set ``register_count: 1`` and ``response_size: 4``.
- **response_size**: (*Optional*): Size of the response for the register in bytes. Defaults to register_count*2.
- **force_new_range**: (*Optional*, boolean): If possible sensors with sequential addresses are grouped together and requested in one range. Setting ``force_new_range: true`` enforces the start of a new range at that address.
- **custom_data** (*Optional*, list of bytes): raw bytes for modbus command. This allows using non-standard commands. If ``custom_data`` is used ``address`` and ``register_type`` can't be used.
custom data must contain all required bytes including the modbus device address. The crc is automatically calculated and appended to the command.

- **offset**: (*Optional*, int): only required for uncommon response encodings
offset from start address in bytes. If more than one register is read a modbus read registers command this value is used to find the start of this datapoint relative to start address. The component calculates the size of the range based on offset and size of the value type

- **bitmask**: (*Optional*) some values are packed in a response. The bitmask can be used to extract a value from the response. For example, if the high byte value register 0x9013 contains the minute value of the current time. To only exctract this value use bitmask: 0xFF00. The result will be automatically right shifted by the number of 0 before the first 1 in the bitmask. For 0xFF00 (0b1111111100000000) the result is shifted 8 posistions. More than one sensor can use the same address/offset if the bitmask is different.
