Hello, i am reading the values of 3 modbus RTU energy meters, i am using a modbus RTU <> modbus TCP gateway and everything is working fine, however, i need to reset the measured energy daily, to do that i need to send a custom HEX command to the modbus RTU meters, which is: slave-id 0x42 CRCH CRCL.
i have done it sucessfull with a tcp-request node, however, if i have the modbus-flex-getter nodes enabled the request fails, i guess is because there is an active connection with the modbus server due the modbus-flex-getter node.
the question is, is there a way to send a custom hex command with nodered-contrib-modbus? if no, can i pause/stop/kill/close the connection in the modbus-flex-getter node? so in this way i can reset the energy meter counter and restart the connection again.
here are the energy meters that i am using:
this is my flow:
This is my actual code in node-red:
