Why is "Out-of-grid–total power" not updated every time?

[sundsvald]

"Out-of-grid–total power" is working as if it have a "skip_updates: 2". Is the "skip_updates: 2" inherited from another variable?

• platform: modbus_controller modbus_controller_id: ${modbus_controller_id} skip_updates: 2 name: "${device_type}-External CT L3 Power" id: ${device_type}_External_CT_L3_Power register_type: holding address: 618 unit_of_measurement: "W" state_class: "measurement" accuracy_decimals: 0 value_type: S_WORD

Yes. The ESPhome modbus controller combines same beginning adresses into one call, to lower the amount of requests. The skip_updates applies to all belonging to that same start adress. It's decsribed in the ESPhome modbus controller documentation.
