The ``mpu6050`` sensor platform allows you to use your MPU6050 Accelerometer/Gyroscope
(`datasheet <https://www.invensense.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/MPU-6000-Datasheet1.pdf>`__,
`Sparkfun`_) sensors with
ESPHome. The :ref:`I²C Bus <i2c>` is
required to be set up in your configuration for this sensor to work.

This component only does some basic filtering and no calibration. Due to the complexity of
this sensor and the amount of possible configuration options, you should probably
create a custom component by copying and modifying the existing code if you want a specific
new feature. Supporting all possible use-cases would be quite hard.

Configuration variables:
------------------------

- **address** (*Optional*, int): Manually specify the i^2c address of the sensor. Defaults to ``0x68``.
- **accel_x** (*Optional*): Use the X-Axis of the Accelerometer. All options from
  :ref:`Sensor <config-sensor>`.
- **accel_y** (*Optional*): Use the Y-Axis of the Accelerometer. All options from
  :ref:`Sensor <config-sensor>`.
- **accel_z** (*Optional*): Use the Z-Axis of the Accelerometer. All options from
  :ref:`Sensor <config-sensor>`.
- **gyro_x** (*Optional*): Use the X-Axis of the Gyroscope. All options from
  :ref:`Sensor <config-sensor>`.
- **gyro_y** (*Optional*): Use the Y-Axis of the Gyroscope. All options from
  :ref:`Sensor <config-sensor>`.
- **gyro_z** (*Optional*): Use the Z-Axis of the Gyroscope. All options from
  :ref:`Sensor <config-sensor>`.
- **temperature** (*Optional*): Use the internal temperature of the sensor. All options from
  :ref:`Sensor <config-sensor>`.
- **update_interval** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-time`): The interval to check the sensor. Defaults to ``60s``.

- **id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Manually specify the ID used for code generation.
