NB: This documentation page is a work-in-progress and unfinished at the moment of writing. The ESPhome section still needs to be written. However, experienced ESPHome users should be able to figure the configuration out themselves using [the ESPhome configuration available in the P1 logger git repo](https://git.hollander.online/energy/p1-logger/src/branch/main/esphome) and the brief explanation below.
