MCP9600 Thermocouple Amplifier =========================================== .. seo:: :description: Instructions for setting up the MCP9600 thermocouple amplifier :image: mcp9600.jpg :keywords: MCP9600 The ``mcp9600`` sensor platform allows you to use your MCP9600 and MCP9601 (`datasheet `__, `Adafruit`_) to measure the temperature of a connected thermocouple while also measuring the ambient temperature around the sensor with ESPHome. :ref:`I²C ` is required to be set up in your configuration for this sensor to work. .. note:: The :ref:`I²C ` bus must be set to a minimum of ``10khz`` due to the limitations of the MCP9600 and MCP9601. .. figure:: images/mcp9600.jpg :align: center :width: 80.0% MCP9600 Thermocouple Amplifier .. _Adafruit: https://www.adafruit.com/product/4101 .. code-block:: yaml # Example configuration entry sensor: - platform: mcp9600 hot_junction: name: "Thermocouple Temperature" cold_junction: name: "Ambient Temperature" thermocouple_type: K address: 0x67 update_interval: 60s Configuration variables: ------------------------ - **hot_junction** (*Optional*): The information for the Hot Junction temperature sensor. - **name** (**Required**, string): The name for the temperature sensor. - **id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Set the ID of this sensor for use in lambdas. - All other options from :ref:`Sensor `. - **cold_junction** (*Optional*): The information for the Cold Junction temperature sensor. - **name** (**Required**, string): The name for the temperature sensor. - **id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Set the ID of this sensor for use in lambdas. - All other options from :ref:`Sensor `. - **thermocouple_type** (*Optional*): Set the thermocouple type. Options are: K, J, T, N, S, E, B and R type thermocouple. Defaults to ``K``. - **address** (*Optional*, int): Manually specify the I²C address of the sensor. Defaults to ``0x67``. - **update_interval** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-time`): The interval to check the sensor. Defaults to ``60s``.
