+## Overview
+
+The HAT Geiger Counter is an outdoor-rated ionizing radiation monitor built on the ESP32-C3.
+It measures radiation in CPM and µSv/hr using a J321 Geiger tube, integrates natively with
+Home Assistant via ESPHome, and optionally uploads readings to [radmon.org](https://radmon.org)
+for public radiation monitoring.
+
+The device ships pre-flashed with ESPHome firmware and can be adopted directly from the
+ESPHome dashboard or provisioned via BLE (ESPHome app) or USB-C (improv_serial).
