Hi Bart,
When I tried to use ESPeasy two or three years ago I couldn't get it to work with the PZEM-004T.
The situtaion might be completely different now,
Here's a link to a write-up I did about how I interfaced the PZEM to a Wemos D1 Mini via level shifters.
This is what the home page looks like in Tasmota for the PZEM.
To put your mind to rest, I actually have a number of devices flashed with Tasmota, for example some Sonoff Basic, S20s and S26s - as well as the Wemos I mentioned above.
EDIT: Just upgraded Tasmota to the latest version 12.2.0
