 ## Scan groups for differentiated polling
 Some inverter plugins use different scan groups (to differentiate between slowly changing sensor entities and entities that are updated frequently?)
-To be documented ...
-
+This is determined by the presence of attribute scan_group on sensor entities.
+The scan_group attribute can take following values: SCAN_GROUP_DEFAULT, SCAN_GROUP_MEDIUM,  SCAN_GROUP_FAST or SCAN_GROUP_AUTO
+If no scan_group is specified, the plugin-specific default will be used. There can be a different default for holding and input registers. See the plugin declaration at the end of your plugin. Example: 
+```
+plugin_instance = solax_plugin(
+    plugin_name="SolaX",
+    plugin_manufacturer="SolaX Power",
+    SENSOR_TYPES=SENSOR_TYPES_MAIN,
+    NUMBER_TYPES=NUMBER_TYPES,
+    BUTTON_TYPES=BUTTON_TYPES,
+    SELECT_TYPES=SELECT_TYPES,
+    SWITCH_TYPES=[],
+    block_size=100,
+    order16=Endian.BIG,
+    order32=Endian.LITTLE,
+    auto_block_ignore_readerror=True,
+    default_holding_scangroup=SCAN_GROUP_DEFAULT, 
+    default_input_scangroup=SCAN_GROUP_AUTO,
+    auto_default_scangroup=SCAN_GROUP_FAST,
+    auto_slow_scangroup=SCAN_GROUP_MEDIUM,
+)
+``` 
+The actual polling speed for each group is determined during initial or subsequent configuration of the intergration (config_flow).
+If the 3 polling group times are set to the same value, the system will act as if there is only one scangroup (they are merged together by interval time)
+
+If SCAN_GROUP_AUTO is chosen for `default_input_scangroup` or `default_holding_scangroup`, entities without a `scan_group` declararation will get the value specified in `plugin.auto_slow_scangroup` if their native unit is slowly changing like temperatures or kWh .., otherwise the value specified in `plugin.auto_default_scangroup`
 
 
 ## Autorepeat mechanism for buttons

 A similar autorepeat mechanism is under development for mode 8
 
 ### Note:
-For people using external tasks to control the power, the _remotecontrol_xxx_direct_ versions of the entities could be used. This is outside the scope if this wiki page.
+ - For people using external tasks to control the power, the _remotecontrol_xxx_direct_ versions of the entities could be used. This is outside the scope if this wiki page.
+ - If you use modbus power control autorepeat loops, make sure the polling interval for the fastest scangroup is sufficiently low e.g. 3-5 seconds, otherwise the values are updated too slowly. A too short interval can overload your system or modbus communication bus. Some people can go as low as 1 second, but it is safer to have more margin.

 ## Solax Gen4 approach - Mode 1
 ***
 
+
 The Solax Gen4 inverters and higher use a modbus write_multiple_registers command.
 On the Gen4, these actions are not stored in EEPROM, so they can be executed frequently.
 The integration hides this complexity and implements one button to trigger a single or repeated update(s). The action behind this button is configurable through 6 parameter entities.

 * For people using external tasks to control the power, the _remotecontrol_xxx_direct_ versions of the entities could be used. This is outside the scope if this wiki page.
 * Although the addition of Mode 8 in new firmwares is a big enhancement, we still feel there is a missing mode that focusses on the grid interface and can limit the PV in case of negative prices. Our Mode 8 autorepeat loop tries to emulate this, but can only adjust every polling cycle, a firmware based solution could react faster.
 * This mechanism will only work on the most recent firmware versions; previous versions do not support mode 8 or 9. I am running Firmware: DSP v1.52 ARM v1.50 at the time of my testing
+* If you use modbus power control autorepeat loops, make sure the polling interval for the fastest scangroup is sufficiently low e.g. 3-5 seconds, otherwise the values are updated too slowly. A too short interval can overload your system or modbus communication bus. Some people can go as low as 1 second, but it is safer to have more margin.
