Home Assistant Core modbus incompatible with v2.2.6+

[WillCodeForCats]

As of release v2.2.6 solaredge-modbus-multi is using pymodbus 3.0.0 or newer to fix some long standing communications issues some users were experiencing.

The Home Assistant core modbus integration will not work if solaredge-modbus-multi v2.2.6 is loaded. I expect that Home Assistant will eventually update to a current release version of pymodbus, but they have not done so yet. pymodbus 3.0.0 contains changes that are not backwards compatible with code that relies on old versions. Unfortunately this means if you are using the core modbus integration you must stay on v2.2.5 of solaredge-modbus-multi until Home Assistant gets updated.

All versions of Home Assistant still use a version of pymodbus older than 3.0.0 so changing to any HA older or newer version won't help.

If you are NOT using the modbus core integration, but you are using another solaredge modbus integration and want to switch to this one, you will need to delete those other custom integrations (and reboot) before you can install solaredge-modbus-multi v2.2.6 and newer. We updated to use pymodbus 3.0.0 quickly because it resolved issues several users were having, so we can't downgrade since it would break issues that were closed as fixed.
