ESP32 Pulse Counter Sensor
==========================
The pulse counter sensor allows you to count the number of pulses on a
specific pin using the `pulse counter
peripheral <https://esp-idf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api-reference/peripherals/pcnt.html>`__
on the ESP32.

# Example configuration entry
sensor:
- platform: pulse_counter
pin: 12
name: "Pulse Counter"
Configuration variables:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2018-06-01 18:10:00 +02:00
- **pin** (**Required**, :ref:`config-pin`): The pin to count pulses on.
- **name** (**Required**, string): The name of the sensor.
- **pull_mode** (*Optional*): The `pull
mode <https://esp-idf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api-reference/peripherals/gpio.html#_CPPv218gpio_set_pull_mode10gpio_num_t16gpio_pull_mode_t>`__
of the pin. One of ``PULLUP``, ``PULLDOWN``, ``PULLUP_PULLDOWN``,
``FLOATING``. Defaults to ``FLOATING``.
- **count_mode** (*Optional*): Configure how the counter should behave
on a detected rising edge/falling edge.

2018-06-01 18:10:00 +02:00
- **rising_edge** (*Optional*): What to do when a rising edge is
detected. One of ``DISABLE``, ``INCREMENT`` and ``DECREMENT``.
Defaults to ``INCREMENT``.
- **falling_edge** (*Optional*): What to do when a falling edge is
detected. One of ``DISABLE``, ``INCREMENT`` and ``DECREMENT``.
Defaults to ``DISABLE``.
2018-05-13 11:37:02 +02:00
2018-06-01 18:10:00 +02:00
- **internal_filter** (*Optional*, int): If a pulse shorter than this
number of APB clock pulses (each 12.5 ns) is detected, its
discarded. See `esp-idf Filtering
Pulses <https://esp-idf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api-reference/peripherals/pcnt.html#filtering-pulses>`__
for more information. Defaults to the max value 1023 or about 13 µs.
- **update_interval** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-time`): The interval to check the sensor. Defaults to ``15s``.
2018-06-01 18:44:15 +02:00
See :ref:`sensor-default_filter`.
2018-06-01 18:10:00 +02:00
- **id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Manually specify the ID used for code generation.
- All other options from :ref:`Sensor <config-sensor>` and :ref:`MQTT Component <config-mqtt-component>`.

Converting units
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The sensor defaults to measuring its values using a unit of measurement
2018-06-01 18:10:00 +02:00
of “pulses/min”. You can change this by using :ref:`sensor-filters`.
2018-05-13 11:37:02 +02:00
For example, if youre using the pulse counter with a photodiode to
count the light pulses on a power meter, you can do the following:
.. code:: yaml
# Example configuration entry
sensor:
- platform: pulse_counter
pin: 12
unit_of_measurement: 'kW'
name: 'Power Meter House'
filters:
- multiply: 0.06
