I have a few questions around the pulse counter and power meter https://esphome.io/cookbook/power_meter.html
I have looked at the pulses on my oscilloscope, I decided to run the LDR through an opamp so I could get a cleaner pulse as can be seen the frequency of the pulse is <1Hz (<1 per second) yet I seem to get a pulse count of far greater than 60per/min around 120-300per/min is common.
An ideas?
