Victron integration not loading - pymodbus error

[JohannCR]

Victron integration sometimes does not load.
Weird thing is, sometimes a reboot fixes the problem, but not always.

Home Assistant 2023.7.3
Supervisor 2023.07.1
Operating System 10.3

Here are the logs :

I saw this on 2023.7.x aswell. (restart sometimes helps)
2023.8. seems to work right now, i did now.

sometime a rescan picks it up (might loose something else)

Same here. About 60% chance that victron integration is working after reboot.

Please test the beta v0.1.4 release of this interation (this is a copy paste reply which isn't customized for each issue v.0.1.4 is attempting to adres).
Make sure that (in cae this applies to you) the core modbus integration is also fully enabled after bumping to version 0.1.4 and let me know if the issue persists.

Closing issue as resolved.
Feel free to re-open if the issue persists
