Dallas Temperature Sensor
|
||||
=========================
|
||||
|
||||
The ``dallas`` sensor allows you to define sensors for you :doc:`dallas sensor hub </esphomeyaml/components/dallas>`.
|
||||
The ``dallas`` sensor allows you to use ds18b20 and similar sensors.
|
||||
First, you need to define a :doc:`dallas sensor component </esphomeyaml/components/dallas>`.
|
||||
The dallas sensor component (or "hub") is an internal model that defines which pins the ds18b20
|
||||
sensors are connected to. This is because with these sensors you can actually connect multiple
|
||||
sensors to a single pin and use them all at once.
|
||||
|
||||
To initialize a sensor, first supply either ``address`` **or** ``index`` to identify the sensor.

one. In order to get the address, simply start the firmware on your

device with a configured dallas hub and observe the log output (the :ref:`log
|

level <logger-log_levels>` must be set to at least
|

``debug``!). You will find something like this:
|

``debug``!). Note that you don't need to define the individual sensors just yet, as
|
||||
the scanning will happen even with no sensors connected. For example with this configuration:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code:: yaml
|
||||
|
||||
# Example configuration entry
|
||||
dallas:
|
||||
- pin: GPIO23
|
||||
|
||||
You will find something like this:
|
||||
|
||||
.. figure:: images/dallas-log.png
|
||||
|
||||
Next, individually warm up or cool down the sensors and observe the log
|
||||
output to determine which address points to which sensor.
|
||||
Now we can add the individual sensors to our configuration:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code:: yaml
|
||||
|
||||
# Example configuration entry
|
||||
dallas:
|
||||
- pin: GPIO23

||||
|
||||
sensor:
|
||||
- platform: dallas
|
||||
address: 0xA40000031F055028
|
||||
name: "Temperature #1"
|
||||
- platform: dallas
|
||||
address: 0xDD0000031EFB0428
|
||||
name: "Temperature #2"
|
||||
- platform: dallas
|
||||
# ...
|
||||
|
||||
Next, individually warm up or cool down the sensors and observe the log again.
|
||||
You will see the outputted sensor values changing when they're being warmed.
|
||||
When you're finished mapping each address to a name, just change the ``Temperature #1``
|
||||
to your assigned names and you should be ready.
