:description: Instructions for setting up APDS9960 sensors.
:image: apds9960.jpg
The ``apds9960`` sensor platform allows you to use your APDS9960 RGB and gesture sensors
(`datasheet <https://cdn.sparkfun.com/datasheets/Sensors/Proximity/apds9960.pdf>`__,
`SparkFun`_) with ESPHome.
The :ref:`I²C <i2c>` is
required to be set up in your configuration for this sensor to work.

Configuration variables:
------------------------
The configuration is made up of three parts: The central component, individual sensors,
and direction binary sensors.
Base Configuration:
- **address** (*Optional*, integer): The I2C address of the sensor. Defaults to ``0x39``.
- **update_interval** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-time`): The interval
to check the sensor. Defaults to ``60s``.
Sensor Configuration:
- **name** (**Required**, string): The name for the sensor.
- **type** (**Required**, string): The type of sensor measurement. One of
- **CLEAR**
- **RED**
- **GREEN**
- **BLUE**
- **PROXIMITY**
- **id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Set the ID of this sensor for use in lambdas.
- All other options from :ref:`Sensor <config-sensor>`.
Binary Sensor Configuration:
- **name** (**Required**, string): The name for the binary sensor.
- **direction** (**Required**, string): The direction to measure. One of:
- **UP**
- **DOWN**
- **LEFT**
- **RIGHT**
- **id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Manually specify the ID used for code generation.
- All other options from :ref:`Binary Sensor <config-binary_sensor>`.
