:description: Instructions for setting up Modbus in ESPHome.

:keywords: Modbus
|
|
|
|
The Modbus protocol is used by many consumer and industrial devices for communication.
|
|
This component allows components in ESPHome to communicate to those devices.
|
|
Modbus requires a :ref:`UART Bus <uart>` to communicate.

Configuration variables:
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
- **flow_control_pin** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-pin`): The pin used to switch flow control.
|
|
This is useful for RS485 transeivers that do not have automatic flow control switching,
|
|
like the common MAX485.
|
|
|
|
- **send_wait_time** (*Optional*, :ref:`time`): Time in milliseconds before a new modbus command is sent if an answer from a previous command is pending. Defaults to 250 ms.
|
|
If multiple modbus devices are attached increasing this value can help avoiding to to overlapping reads.
|
|
When 2 devices are sending a command at the same the the response read from uart can't be assigend to the proper design.
|
|
This value defines the maximumm queuing time for a command before it is send anyways.
