 The ``MAX31856`` temperature sensor allows you to use your MAX31856 Thermocouple
 temperature sensor (`datasheet <https://datasheets.maximintegrated.com/en/ds/MAX31856.pdf>`__) with ESPHome.
-Multiple types of thermocouples supported by the chip.
-Currently only the K type is implemented here.
+Although the chip supports multiple thermocouple types, this component only implements the ``K`` type.
