-## Why Modbus + bytes are split into two palettes
-
-Most Modbus packages bake type decoding into the read node — one giant dropdown for int16 / int32 / float32 / Siemens-CDAB / etc. That made sense in 2010 but it's a mess: every protocol re-implements the same decoders, and you can't reuse them for MQTT / TCP / BLE / file payloads.
-
-We split them on purpose:
-- **Modbus nodes** speak Modbus and output raw registers — nothing else.
-- **Bytes nodes** decode any binary payload into typed values.
-
-You write less code, your flows stay readable, and the same decoder works whether the data came from a PLC, an MQTT broker, or a UDP socket.
