Modbus RTU Temeperature Sensor

This sketch shows you how to interact with a Modbus RTU temperature and humidity sensor.
It reads the temperature and humidity values every 5 seconds and outputs them to the
serial monitor.

You didn't mention the VCC connection for the sensor.

we need an explanation of what the sensor returns and why we need to divide by 10.0.

short rawhumidity = ModbusRTUClient.read();

// Is required divide by 10.0 the raw value to get the temperature in Celsius

Let's change the order here:

To get the temperature in Celsius and the humidity reading as a percentage, divide the raw value by 10.0.

// and the humidity reading as a percentage.
temperature = rawtemperature / 10.0;
humidity = rawhumidity / 10.0;
Serial.println(temperature);
Serial.println(humidity);
}

delay(5000);
}
