**CURRENTLY IN DEVELOPMENT**

`Pymodbus_ha <https://pypi.org/project/pymodbus-ha/>`_ is
5860
an alias to pymodbus, available on pypi.org.

Being an alias means it is 100% the same as pymodbus, without any extra
61-
code, just another name.
63+
code, just different distribution and package names.
64+
65+
The idea is to allow projects like e.g. home-assistant to use this library
66+
in the core, while custom parts uses the normal pymodbus. Doing so allows
67+
the core and the custom part to use different versions.
68+
69+
Of course the decision to use the library or not, is left to each project,
70+
just like it is the project that decides whether or not to use pymodbus.

63-
This allows home-assistant to use a pymodbus version for the modbus integration,
64-
while custom_components use another version.
72+
Pymodbus can easily be extended with other aliases if needed. Please open
73+
an issue for a discussion if wanted.
