    :description: Instructions for setting up MCP23S08, MCP23S16 or MCP23S17 digital port expander in ESPHome. This is exactly the same API as the MCP23SXX I/O Expander except talks on the SPI bus
    :image: mcp23Sxx.png

The Microchip MCP23Sxx series of general purpose, parallel I/O expansion for SPI bus applications.
This is exactly the same API as the MCP23SXX I/O Expander except talks on the SPI bus

MCP23S08 Component
------------------

The MCP23S08 component (`datasheet <http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/MCP23008-MCP23S08-Data-Sheet-20001919F.pdf>`__,
`Digi-Key <https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/microchip-technology/MCP23S08-E-P/MCP23S08-E-P-ND/735954>`__) has 8 GPIOs that can be configured independently.

.. code-block:: yaml

    # Example configuration entry
    mcp23s08:
      - id: 'mcp23s08_hub'
        cs_pin: D8
        deviceaddress: 0

    # Individual outputs
    switch:
      - platform: gpio
        name: "MCP23S08 Pin #0"
        pin:
          mcp23s08_id: mcp23s08_hub
          # Use pin number 0
          number: 0
          # One of INPUT, INPUT_PULLUP or OUTPUT
          mode: OUTPUT
          inverted: False

    # Individual inputs
    binary_sensor:
      - platform: gpio
        name: "MCP23S08 Pin #1"
        pin:
          mcp23s08_id: mcp23s08_hub
          # Use pin number 1
          number: 1
          # One of INPUT or INPUT_PULLUP
          mode: INPUT
          inverted: False

Configuration variables:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- **id** (**Required**, :ref:`config-id`): The id to use for this MCP23S08 component.
- **cs_pin** (**Required**, int): The SPI chip select pin to use
- **deviceaddress** (*Optional*, int): The address of the chip.
  Defaults to ``0``.


.. _mcp23S17-label:

MCP23S17 Component
------------------

The MCP23S17 component allows you to use MCP23S17 I/O expanders
(`datasheet <http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/20001952C.pdf>`__,
`Digi-Key <https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/microchip-technology/MCP23S17-E-SP/MCP23S17-E-SP-ND/894276>`__) in ESPHome.
It uses the :ref:`SPI Bus <spi>` for communication.

Once configured, you can use any of the 16 pins as
pins for your projects. Within ESPHome they emulate a real internal GPIO pin
and can therefore be used with many of ESPHome's components such as the GPIO
binary sensor or GPIO switch.

.. code-block:: yaml

    # Example configuration entry
    mcp23s17:
      - id: 'mcp23s17_hub'
        cs_pin: D8
        deviceaddress: 0

    # Individual outputs
    switch:
      - platform: gpio
        name: "MCP23S17 Pin #0"
        pin:
          mcp23s17_id: mcp23s17_hub
          # Use pin number 0
          number: 0
          mode: OUTPUT
          inverted: False

    # Individual inputs
    binary_sensor:
      - platform: gpio
        name: "MCP23S17 Pin #1"
        pin:
          mcp23s17_id: mcp23s17_hub
          # Use pin number 1
          number: 1
          # One of INPUT or INPUT_PULLUP
          mode: INPUT_PULLUP
          inverted: False

Configuration variables:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- **id** (**Required**, :ref:`config-id`): The id to use for this MCP23S17 component.
- **cs_pin** (**Required**, int): The SPI chip select pin to use.
- **deviceaddress** (*Optional*, int): The address of the chip.
  Defaults to ``0``.
