The ``ina3221`` sensor platform allows you to use your INA3221 3-Channel DC Current Sensor
(`datasheet <http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/ina3221.pdf>`__,
`switchdoc`_) sensors with
ESPHome. The :ref:`I²C Bus <i2c>` is
required to be set up in your configuration for this sensor to work.

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

- **address** (*Optional*, int): Manually specify the I²C address of the sensor. Defaults to ``0x40``.
- **channel_1** (*Optional*): The configuration options for the 1st channel.

  - **shunt_resistance** (*Optional*, float): The value of the shunt resistor on this channel for current calculation.
    Defaults to ``0.1 ohm``.
  - **current** (*Optional*): Use the current value on this channel in amperes. All options from
    :ref:`Sensor <config-sensor>`.
  - **power** (*Optional*): Use the power value on this channel in watts. All options from
    :ref:`Sensor <config-sensor>`.
  - **bus_voltage** (*Optional*): Use the bus voltage (voltage of the high side contact) value on this channel in V.
    All options from :ref:`Sensor <config-sensor>`.
  - **shunt_voltage** (*Optional*): Use the shunt voltage (voltage across the shunt resistor) value on this channel in V.
    All options from :ref:`Sensor <config-sensor>`.

- **channel_2** (*Optional*): The configuration options for the 2nd channel. Same options as 1st channel.
- **channel_3** (*Optional*): The configuration options for the 3rd channel. Same options as 1st channel.
- **update_interval** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-time`): The interval to check the sensor. Defaults to ``60s``.

    Pins on the INA3221. For communication only VS, GND, SCL and SDA need to be connected.
    Note that all 3 channels share the same GND reference.
