 # TFMini-S Time of Flight Distance Sensor for ESPHome
 
-This is an external component for ESPHome that supports the TFMini-S time of flight distance sensor.
+This is an external component for ESPHome that supports the TFMini-S time of flight distance sensor. It provides distance measurements along with signal strength and temperature readings from the sensor.
+
+## Features
+
+- Distance measurement in centimeters or meters (configurable)
+- Signal strength monitoring for reliability assessment
+- Internal temperature monitoring
+- Automatic configuration of the TFMini-S sensor
+- Configurable at 100Hz refresh rate

 ## Configuration
 
 Add the following to your ESPHome configuration file:
 
+### Basic Configuration
+
 ```yaml
-# Example configuration
+# UART configuration for the TFMini-S
 uart:
   tx_pin: GPIO17
   rx_pin: GPIO16
   baud_rate: 115200
 
+# TFMini-S sensor configuration
 sensor:
   - platform: tfmini
-    name: "Distance Sensor"
+    name: "Distance"
-    update_interval: 1s
+    id: tfmini_distance
 ```
 
-## Features
+### Full Configuration with All Options
 
-- Measures distance in meters
+```yaml
-- Automatic configuration of the TFMini-S sensor
+# UART configuration for the TFMini-S
-- Signal strength validation
+uart:
-- Temperature monitoring (internal, not exposed yet)
+  tx_pin: GPIO17
+  rx_pin: GPIO16
+  baud_rate: 115200
 
-## Notes
+# TFMini-S sensor configuration with all sensors
+sensor:
+  - platform: tfmini
+    name: "Distance"
+    id: tfmini_distance
+    distance_unit: cm  # Options: cm (default) or m
+    strength:
+      name: "TFMini Signal Strength"
+      id: tfmini_strength
+    temperature:
+      name: "TFMini Temperature"
+      id: tfmini_temperature
+```
+
+## Configuration Options
+
+| Option | Default | Description |
+|--------|---------|-------------|
+| `name` | Required | Name of the distance sensor |
+| `distance_unit` | `cm` | Unit for distance measurement. Options: `cm` or `m` |
+| `strength` | Optional | Configuration for signal strength sensor |
+| `temperature` | Optional | Configuration for temperature sensor |
+
+## Technical Notes
 
 - The sensor is configured to use the standard 9-byte output format
 - Refresh rate is set to 100Hz
-- Data is provided in meters with 2 decimal precision
+- The component validates signal strength to ensure reliable readings (minimum 100)
+- Default unit is centimeters as that's the native output of the TFMini-S
+
+## Wiring
+
+Connect your TFMini-S to your ESP device as follows:
+
+| TFMini-S | ESP |
+|----------|-----|
+| 5V       | 5V  |
+| GND      | GND |
+| TX       | RX (GPIO16 in example) |
+| RX       | TX (GPIO17 in example) |
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+If you're having issues:
+
+1. Check the wiring connections
+2. Ensure the UART pins are correctly defined
+3. Set the logger to DEBUG level to see detailed messages
+4. Verify the sensor has a clear line of sight to the target
+5. Check signal strength values to ensure reliable readings
