Describe the solution you'd like

It would be nice to have dedicated sensors for all solar fields for monitoring purposes.
The modbus gives separate values for the connected strings (string 1 and string 2) as well as for the external generator per phase (L1,2,3).
I have individual single phase generators connected to the external generator meter and can therefore monitor each individual pv field as well as both strings directly connected.

This might be a nice feature for others too and should be considered as nice to have.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Alternative is to not add the sensors with the addon and get them traditionally via modbus individually.

Additional context

This is my modbus yaml as an example:

• name: "E3DC"
  type: tcp
  host: 192.168.1.5
  port: 502
  retry_on_empty: true
  sensors:
  • name: E3DC String 1 Power
    unique_id: e3dc_string_1_power
    data_type: uint16
    address: 40101
    device_class: power
    unit_of_measurement: W
    scan_interval: 2
  • name: E3DC String 2 Power
    unique_id: e3dc_string_2_power
    data_type: uint16
    address: 40102
    device_class: power
    unit_of_measurement: W
    scan_interval: 2
  • name: E3DC Powermeter 3 L1
    unique_id: e3dc_powermeter_3_L1
    data_type: int16
    address: 40117
    device_class: power
    unit_of_measurement: W
    scan_interval: 2
  • name: E3DC Powermeter 3 L2
    unique_id: e3dc_powermeter_3_L2
    data_type: int16
    address: 40118
    device_class: power
    unit_of_measurement: W
    scan_interval: 2
  • name: E3DC Powermeter 3 L3
    unique_id: e3dc_powermeter_3_L3

If you consider implementing this idea, it might be nice to add the data as additional attributes to the already given sensors.
That way the list of all sensors will not become too crowded.

Please add the diagnostic dump

[wittimagic]

The dump of your the e3dc integration:
config_entry-e3dc_rscp-7a29928e2c66dc30bb06b0ae4364c0cf.json

Not sure how to get a dump of the modbus internal integration.

@wittimagic I do not need a modbus dump, it#s irrelevant, as I#m not using modbus. The one of me is perfectly fine. Thanks!
