| 14 | +## Description |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +The **WaterFlowKit** is an ESPHome-based water flow monitor for supported pulse-based flow sensors. |
| 17 | +It measures **real-time flow rate**, **total water consumption**, and **water temperature**, and also includes |
| 18 | +onboard **temperature** and **humidity** sensing with the **HDC1080**. |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +It is designed for fully local use with **ESPHome** and **Home Assistant**, with onboarding through |
| 21 | +**captive portal**, **Improv BLE**, or **Improv Serial** where supported, and supports **HTTP OTA** firmware updates. |
| 22 | + |

| 61 | +## Quickstart |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +1. Connect power and wire the flow sensors. |
| 64 | +2. Flash the desired firmware with the web flasher or ESPHome. |
| 65 | +3. Onboard the device using the fallback hotspot, **Improv BLE**, or **Improv Serial** where supported. |
| 66 | +4. Adopt the device in **Home Assistant** / **ESPHome**. |
| 67 | +5. Select the connected flow sensor type and calibrate if needed. |
