The ``MAX31856`` temperature sensor allows you to use your MAX31856 Thermocouple
temperature sensor (`datasheet <https://datasheets.maximintegrated.com/en/ds/MAX31856.pdf>`__) with ESPHome

As the communication with the MAX31856 is done using SPI, you need
to have an :ref:`spi bus <spi>` in your configuration with both **miso_pin** and **mosi_pin** set.

- ``VIN`` connects to 5V (``3V3`` will output 3.3V), or directly connect ``3V3`` to 3.3V
- ``3Vo`` is not used by ESPHome
- ``GND`` connects to ground
- ``CLK`` connects to the SPI **clk_pin**
- ``SDO`` connects to the SPI **miso_pin**
- ``SDI`` connects to the SPI **mosi_pin**
- ``CS`` connects to a free GPIO pin
- ``FLT`` is not used by ESPHome
- ``DRDY`` is not used by ESPHome

.. code:: yaml

    # Example configuration entry
    spi:
      clk_pin: GPIO18
      miso_pin: GPIO19
      mosi_pin: GPIO23

    sensor:
      - platform: MAX31856
        name: "BBQ Temperature"
        icon: "mdi:hamburger"
        cs_pin: GPIO17

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

- **name** (**Required**, string): The name for the temperature sensor.
- **cs_pin** (**Required**, :ref:`Pin Schema <config-pin_schema>`): The Chip Select pin of the SPI interface.
- **update_interval** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-time`): The interval to check the sensor. Defaults to ``60s``.
- **mains_filter** (*Optional*, string): The mains power frequency to reject (``50 Hz`` or ``60 Hz``). Defaults to ``60 Hz``.
- **spi_id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Manually specify the ID of the :ref:`SPI Component <spi>` if you want to use multiple SPI buses.
- **id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Manually specify the ID used for code generation.
- All other options from :ref:`Sensor <config-sensor>`.
