ones used for logging. Therefore the UART data on the ESP8266 can have occasional data glitches especially with
higher baud rates..
.. note::
From ESPHome 1.21.0 the ``ESP8266SoftwareSerial`` UART ``write_byte`` function had the parity bit fixed to be correct
for the data being sent. This could cause unexpected issues if you are using the Software Serial and have devices that
explicity check the parity. Most likely you will need to flip the ``parity`` flag in YAML.
