@ -9,12 +9,14 @@ The pulse meter sensor allows you to count the number and frequency of pulses on
for the :doc:`pulse counter integration </components/sensor/pulse_counter>`.
Rather than counting pulses over a fixed time interval, the pulse meter sensor measures the time between pulses. The precise manner in which this is done depends on the ``internal_filter_mode`` option. This leads to a higher resolution, especially for low pulse rates, as the pulse counter sensor is limited by the number of pulses within a time interval.
Here's a comparison of the two sensors; both are set to an update interval of 10 seconds (using the ``update_interval`` and the ``throttle_average`` option respectively):
Here's a comparison of the two sensors. The pulse meter is the smoother line. Both are set to an update interval of 10 seconds (using the ``update_interval`` and the ``throttle_average`` option respectively):

Please note that it is not possible to use both of these two sensors on the same pin at the same time.
