57+ `Pymodbus_ha_core  <https://pypi.org/project/pymodbus-ha-core/ >`_ is
58+ an alias to pymodbus, available on pypi.org.
59+ 60+ Being an alias means it is 100% the same as pymodbus, without any extra
61+ code, just another name.
62+ 63+ This allows home-assistant to use a pymodbus version for the modbus integration,
64+ while custom_components use another version.
65+ 66+ We are offering to make other aliases for projects who need this, please
67+ open an issue in the pymodbus project, with an explanation of why it is
68+ needed.
