Modbus integration should support "devices"

Feature Requests

in the upcomming 2024.8. version, we will get the integration created via configuration.yaml into the Integrations-Page.

As you can see, my Modbus-configuration includes 26 Entities at all.
Now, it would be logical, that the yaml configuration would also support “Devices”

The configuration already has relevant information:

# DEVICE 1
  - name: "DEVICE_NAME_1"
    type: tcp
    host: 192.168.0.1
    port: 503
    lights:
... 

# DEVICE 2
  - name: "DEVICE_NAME_2"
    type: tcp
    host: 192.168.0.2
    port: 503
    lights:
...

It would be great, if the integration would now show the amount of devices and how many entities there are per device.

You could use Device Tools from HACS to group entities into virtual devices.

thanks for the suggestion :slight_smile:
Yes, could be a solution or workaround - but I think, this should be a core-topic in the end, as the information is already available in the modbus-configuration :slight_smile:
