Description:
I have been banging my head for a whole day why my smart plug wasn't working with the CSE7759 (HLW8012) integration. After a while, I have found out that CSE7759 and CSE7759B are drastically different in terms of communication - pulses vs UART, HLW8012 vs CSE7766 integrations.
I think that cross-referencing CSE7766 (CSE7759B) documentation from the HLW8012 (CSE7759) documentation would be a good idea because it is otherwise a little confusing as there were originally
no references to the alternative IC names. I have implemented this documentation change in this pull request.
I have added references to power measurement IC sensors which are functionally identical:
