 - **internal_filter** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-time`): If a pulse shorter than this
   time is detected, it’s discarded and no pulse is counted. Defaults to ``13us``. On the ESP32,
   this value can not be higher than ``13us``, for the ESP8266 you can use larger intervals too.
-  If you enable this, set up the ``count_mode`` to increase on the falling edge, not leading edge.
+  If you enable this, set up the ``count_mode`` to increase on the falling edge, not leading edge. For S0 pulse meters that are used to meter power consumption 50-100 ms is a reasonable value.
 
 - **update_interval** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-time`): The interval to check the sensor. Defaults to ``60s``.
