I have attempted to try this plugin on HS3 and HS4 and experienced the same problem.

Hi, I faced the same situation, cant find the Modbus plug-in in the plg-in manager
kindly reply as we need to confirm before buy

[amarcuvitz]

I found the following:

I got the Modbus pluggin to work by copying the version of Nlog.dll, and Nlog.assemblies.dll files from the MyQ folder (pluggin) under HomeSeer to the HSPI_Modbus directory. It seems the NLog.dll file coming with Modbus pluggin is too old, and is not compatible with newer OS.

MyQ is a free plugin that you can install. Nlog appears to be a linux logging library. Not good that the ModBus author is MIA and people are wasting all this time and some may give up on HS altogether.

Workaround that appears to work:

1. Install the free MyQ plugin.
2. Install the ModBus plugin. It will say the install was successful but it will not show as installed.
3. Find the NLog.dll file in the folder /usr/local/HomeSeer/bin/HSMyQ and make a copy of it in /usr/local/HomeSeer/Updates3/Modbus3.9.6431.26038
4. restart Homeseer and the ModBus plugin should should show as installed.
