ESPHOME, pulse meter incorrect readings

I have a nodemcuv2 with a photoresistor on a pulse meter. The counting of the pulse is strange, because it is reading 600watt more than is has to be. The pulse light is the correct amout, when i do a check in the homewizard who use the same puls. So the have the same pulse reading but in Home Assistant de readings are more.

I don’t get it, whats going on. I made a new Home assistant, from Pi to Nuc. Compleet new installation, but als i get the same wrong readings. If i count the pulses by my self, the pulses are correct, the ESP also has an LED and if I keep an eye on it, it simultaneously flashes if the Homewizard has. What is going wrong,

Did you get this resolved? I have something similar…

Unfortunatly i did not solved it. I made a other sollution. I connected my solarlogger on de S0 bus with 2 wires. After that the readings were good. I think the puls reader was not be able to read the pulses in a good way.

Hi Michel,

Could you tell me how you did that ?

I mean what do you need (esp32, …) And how to assemble it and connect it to the so output’s.

Maybe easy, but I’m new in this stuff…

Thanks !
