:description: Instructions for setting up PCF8574 digital port expanders in ESPHome.

|
|
|
|
The PCF8574 component allows you to use PCF8574 or PCF8575 I/O expanders
|
|
(`datasheet <http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/pcf8574.pdf>`__,
|
|
`SparkFun`_) in ESPHome. It uses :ref:`I²C Bus <i2c>` for communication.
|
|
|
|
Once configured, you can use any of the 8 pins (PCF8574) or 16 pins (PCF8575) as
|
|
pins for your projects. Within ESPHome they emulate a real internal GPIO pin
|
|
and can therefore be used with many of ESPHome's components such as the GPIO
|
|
binary sensor or GPIO switch.
|
|
|
|
Any option accepting a :ref:`Pin Schema <config-pin_schema>` can theoretically be used, but some more
|
|
complicated components that do communication through this I/O expander will
|
|
not work.
