TCS34725 RGB Color Sensor ========================= .. seo:: :description: Instructions for setting up TCS34725 RGB color sensors. :image: tcs34725.jpg :keywords: tcs34725 The ``tcs34725`` sensor platform allows you to use your TCS34725 RGB color sensors (`datasheet `__, `Adafruit`_), color temperature and illuminance sensors with ESPHome. The :ref:`I²C ` is required to be set up in your configuration for this sensor to work. .. figure:: images/tcs34725-full.jpg :align: center :width: 50.0% TCS34725 RGB Color Sensor .. _Adafruit: https://www.adafruit.com/product/1334 .. figure:: images/tcs34725-ui.png :align: center :width: 80.0% .. code-block:: yaml # Example configuration entry sensor: - platform: tcs34725 red_channel: name: "TCS34725 Red Channel" green_channel: name: "TCS34725 Green Channel" blue_channel: name: "TCS34725 Blue Channel" clear_channel: name: "TCS34725 Clear Channel" illuminance: name: "TCS34725 Illuminance" color_temperature: name: "TCS34725 Color Temperature" gain: 1x integration_time: 2.4ms address: 0x29 update_interval: 60s Configuration variables: ------------------------ - **red_channel** (*Optional*): Get the percentage of how strongly the red color channel is activated. All options from :ref:`Sensor `. - **green_channel** (*Optional*): Get the percentage of how strongly the green color channel is activated. All options from :ref:`Sensor `. - **blue_channel** (*Optional*): Get the percentage of how strongly the blue color channel is activated. All options from :ref:`Sensor `. - **clear_channel** (*Optional*): Get the percentage of how strongly the clear (without a color filter) channel is activated. All options from :ref:`Sensor `. - **illuminance** (*Optional*): Get the total illuminance of the sensor in lx. All options from :ref:`Sensor `. - **color_temperature** (*Optional*): Get the calculated color temperature of the light in Kelvin. All options from :ref:`Sensor `. - **gain** (*Optional*): Set the gain for the internal ADCs to work better in certain low-light conditions. Valid values are ``1x`` (default), ``4x``, ``16x``, ``60x`` (highest gain). - **integration_time** (*Optional*): The amount of time the light sensor is exposed. Valid values are ``2.4ms`` (default), ``24ms``, ``50ms``, ``101ms``, ``154ms``, ``700ms``. - **address** (*Optional*, int): Manually specify the I²C address of the sensor. Defaults to ``0x29``. - **update_interval** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-time`): The interval to check the sensor. Defaults to ``60s``.
