The ``lcd_pcf8574`` display platform allows you to use standard character-based LCD displays like `this one <https://docs.labs.mediatek.com/resource/linkit7697-arduino/en/tutorial/driving-1602-lcd-with-pcf8574-pcf8574a>`__
|
|
with ESPHome. This integration is only for LCD displays that display individual characters on a screen (usually 16-20 columns
|
|
and 2-4 rows), and not for LCD displays that can control each pixel individually.
|
|
|
|
This version of the LCD integration is for LCD displays with an PCF8574 connected to all the data pins. This has
|
|
the benefit that you only need to connect two data wires to the ESP instead of the 6 or 10 with the :doc:`lcd_gpio`.
|
|
As the communication with the :ref:`I²C Bus <i2c>`, you need to have an ``i2c:`` section in your configuration.

Configuration variables:
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
- **dimensions** (**Required**, string): The dimensions of the display with ``ROWSxCOLUMNS``. If you're not
|
|
sure, power the display up and just count them.
|
|
- **address** (*Optional*, int): The :ref:`I²C <i2c>` address of the PCF8574 chip, defaults to ``0x3F``.
|
|
- **lambda** (*Optional*, :ref:`lambda <config-lambda>`): The lambda to use for rendering the content on the display.
|
|
See :ref:`display-lcd_lambda` for more information.
|
|
- **update_interval** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-time`): The interval to re-draw the screen. Defaults to ``1s``.
|
|
- **id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Manually specify the ID used for code generation.
