|
The ``absolute_humidity`` platform allows you to calculate absolute humidity from air temperature and relative humidity.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
See the links at the bottom of the page for details on absolute humidity and the different saturated vapor pressure equations.

# Example configuration entry
|
||
|
|
sensor:
|
||
|
|
- platform: absolute_humidity
|
||
|
|
name: Absolute Humidity
|
||
|
|
temperature: air_temperature
|
||
|
|
humidity: relative_humidity
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Use any temperature and relative humidity source, e.g. a BME280:
|
||
|
|
- platform: ...
|
||
|
|
temperature:
|
||
|
|
name: Temperature
|
||
|
|
id: air_temperature
|
||
|
|
humidity:
|
||
|
|
name: Relative Humidity
|
||
|
|
id: relative_humidity
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Configuration variables:
|
||
|
|
------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- **name** (**Required**, string): The name for the absolute humidity sensor.
|
||
|
|
- **temperature** (**Required**, :ref:`config-id`): The sensor that is used to measure the current temperature, in °C.
|
||
|
|
- **humidity** (**Required**, :ref:`config-id`): The sensor that is used to measure the current relative humidity, in %.
|
||
|
|
- **equation** (*Optional*): The saturated vapor pressure equation to use (see below).
|
||
|
|
- All other options from :ref:`Sensor <config-sensor>`.
|
||
|

|
||
|
|
Saturated vapor pressure equations
|
||
|
|
----------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There are several different equations for calculating saturated vapor pressure.
|
||
|
|
``Wobus`` is used by default, as it is notionally the most accurate, but any of the following can be used:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- ``Buck``: `Arden Buck equation <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arden_Buck_equation>`__
|
||
|
|
- ``Tetens``: `Tetens equation <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetens_equation>`__
|
||
|
|
- ``Wobus``: `Wobus equation <https://wahiduddin.net/calc/density_altitude.htm>`__
