ESP32 Energy Meter

I am completely new to ESPHome and Yaml. Please be gentle and correct any of my terminology

I purchased a ESP32 energy meter board and I have everything setup to work with HA. There are a couple of circuits that I only turn on when my pool is open. As of right now, they are off and I am getting negative values for watts and amps. I did find a yaml script that creates a new ID and I am to use that ID in my total watts and amps calculations. To me, that does not seem to be the correct thing to do. Can I get some help to update the yaml so it will redefine the original watts and amps to be 0 when the values are negative?

You likely need calibration.
Did you had a look at the documentation on that topic?

Yes, I looked at the that link and I did my best to calibrate the sensors using a space heater and a plug in watt meter. I honestly think that it is picking up information from another circuit. I do not want the code to be longer than necessary
