I should also note that with this configuration, esphome successfully flashes and connects to Wi-Fi as though everything is great. When I update the state of the On/Off or Swing register however, it says that no modbus response is received.

Hi there -

I'm looking to flash my T-RSC3 with esphome and use the RS485 interface to expose sensors to my home assistant installation.

I currently have my RS485 A/B buses wired up to my modbus device (which is device 0x1). From what I understand RS485 TX is GPIO10 and RX is GPIO03.

So far I'm not getting any proper 2-way communication with the modbus device (including when I've tried swapping the A/B wires just in case). This is my esphome configuration, could you please confirm that the pins and settings look correct as far as you can see? I will also be following up on the esphome support for support on the software side. I can confirm that with similar settings on a USB RS485 adapter, I am able to communicate with the modbus device however.

esphome:
  name: hvac-01
  friendly_name: hvac-01

esp32:
  board: esp32-c3-devkitm-1
  variant: esp32c3
  framework:

Any help here is greatly appreciated.
