What a great thread to read - thanks. I am also testing modbus - but get an install error and told to read log. Log just gives me -----------------------------------------------------------
2022-07-01T05:44:20.940Z Install : node-red-contrib-modbus 5.21.2
2022-07-01T05:50:00.978Z Install : node-red-contrib-modbus 5.21.2
The only dependency i could find was optional - serial port and i already had that installed. Any pointers?
