+# Progress
+
+## What Works
+- The script successfully connects to both the Modbus TCP device and the MQTT broker.
+- Temperature and humidity data are read from the correct Modbus registers and calibrated as per device documentation.
+- Data is published to the MQTT topic in a pretty-printed JSON format.
+- Logging provides clear feedback on all major events and errors.
+- The script handles connection failures and retries in the main loop.
+
+## What's Left to Build
+- (Optional) Configuration via environment variables or external config file.
+- (Optional) Support for additional sensors or Modbus registers.
+- (Optional) Advanced error notification (e.g., email/SMS alerts).
+- (Optional) Dockerfile or deployment scripts for production use.
+
+## Current Status
+- The project is functional and meets its core requirements for a Modbus-to-MQTT bridge.
+- Ready for deployment in environments matching the current configuration.
+
+## Known Issues
+- All configuration is hardcoded; not ideal for dynamic or multi-environment deployments.
+- No persistent storage or buffering if MQTT broker is temporarily unavailable.
+- No web UI or REST API for monitoring or control.
