Modbus stopped working with rel 2021.7

Please format your pasted configuration correctly. See point 11 here.

Hi all,

same here, Modbus TCP stopped after latest update.

Second playground system with old SW still catches data.

Please let us know how to get it back.

Thanks

My Modbus “serial” connection has also stopped working in 2021.7 and 2021.7.1. I believe that I am using the latest/correct syntax. The Modbus “tcp” connections are working fine.

My error is: Pymodbus: Exception Response(131, 3, GatewayPathUnavailable)

The problematic section in my modbus.yaml file is shown below:

# The following line is in the configuration.yaml file, so *not* repeated below
# modbus:
  - name: "em24"
    close_comm_on_error: true
    type: serial
    method: rtu
    # port: /dev/ttyUSB1
    port: /dev/serial/by-id/usb-FTDI_FT232R_USB_UART_AK08M9Q7-if00-port0
    baudrate: 9600
    stopbits: 1
    bytesize: 8
    parity: N
    timeout: 2
    sensors:
      - name: "Total Imported Energy"
        scan_interval: 30
        unit_of_measurement: "kWh"
        count: 2              # INT32/double-word value (otherwise values > 3276.7kWh go negative)
        swap: word            # EM24 uses reverse word order
        scale: 0.1
        slave: 1
        address: 62
        precision: 1

Note that I have tried both the “serial-by-id” and “/dev/ttyUSB1” options for the port, without success.

The problem goes away if I revert back to 2021.6.

Related issue here Unavailable Sensors

Same here. All devices (sensors, coils etc.) are no working. Checked the latest documentation which shows no change in syntax.

I have the same problem. After update to 2021.7.1 modbus no longer works. I have three devices running via modbus. All three interfaces are broken. An SDM630 electricity meter, a Corrigo ventilation unit and a Dimplex heat pump system. Pretty stupid, since all the important automatisms in the house are no longer running.
Someone knows what happened?

Same here. Out of three identical SMA solar inverters, set up identically with HA, one (not always the same one) stops receiving data after a few hours. Since update to 2021.7. Other setups with OpenHAB working without any problems. Seems mdobus in HA is broken now somehow.

Looks like modbus integration now stops on error.
Try adding this to modbus config:

    retry_on_empty: true
    retries: 10

I have downgraded to version 2021.6.6 and now the registers reading are OK but the coil writing is still faulty. I did not check @dknt recommendation yet.
BTW, I have 7 different TCP Modbus units, some are Advantech, some are King Pigeon and some are USR.
All act the same.
Correction - After fixing the code to the new syntax, all is working under 2021.6.6.

No change with adding the 2 lines. Same error:

Same here, i downgraded to 2021.6.6 for the time beeing.

i had hoped to get a full month of reliabel data on my solar gain and solar battery performance… maybe in august then… :roll_eyes:
this upgrade also seems to have messed with automations… my inverter turned on 9,5h early which ran down the battery while charging at the same time… i exported more energy than i am allowed, so i guess i will get to hear from my utility next time they look at my energymeter :upside_down_face: :wink:

Upgrade to “Home Assistant 2021.7.2” did not fix the issue.

The same for me.
I have 5 PLC’s that use Modbus IP and a heat recovery unit that uses Modbus RTU.
Both protocols no longer work since update 2021.7.1 so for now I will stay on 2021.6.6

I’ve got it running, using this parameters on each Modbus Hub:

    delay: 5
    close_comm_on_error: false
    retry_on_empty: true
    retries: 10

Solved it for me!

Didn’t worked for long. At least now i become old frozen values instead of Zeros…

My issue has been fixed in 2021.7.3 :grinning:

Same for me 2021.7.3 fixed the problem :+1:
