FoxESS Modbus not loading after upgrading to Home Assistant Core 2024.1

[Grimroper]

Having upgraded Home Assistant Core from 2023.12.4 to 2024.1 the FoxESS Modbus integration is failing to load. The logs report two issues with the Integration

1. Unexpected exception importing component custom_components.foxess_modbus
2. Setup failed for custom integration 'foxess_modbus': Unable to import component: Exception importing custom_components.foxess_modbus

Rebooting/Restarting after upgrading to 2024.1 does not resolving the issue. I subsequently upgrading Home Assistant to 2024.1.2 results in the same issue. Reverting back to 2023.12.4 and the integration works as expected

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:
