Original challenge was to get energy data from Amtron Xtra to Home Assistant. First I tried to get the registers directly with Modbus from Home Assistant, but that somewhat overloaded the Amtron. Therefore I changed it to struct and using templates. This works fine with my Amtron Xtra and the polling setting in the code.
# I don't want to record all registers every time they are read, let's exclude them
recorder:
exclude:
entities:
- sensor.amtron_registers
# I don't want a logbook entry either, let's exclude them
logbook:
exclude:
entities:
- sensor.amtron_registers
# Modbus config and sensor to read the modbus registers from the Amtron Xtra/Premium in one go
