The current SPI documentation doesn't mention that there is a difference in how ESPs work depending on which GPIOs are chosen for the SPI setup. While in theory all regular GPIOs can be used (and might work for a lot of people/setups), using the dedicated default SPI pins can be the missing puzzle piece for unstable ESP/device combinations https://techoverflow.net/2021/07/26/what-is-the-spi-pinout-of-the-esp32-esp-wroom-32/ https://randomnerdtutorials.com/esp8266-pinout-reference-gpios/

:description: Instructions for setting up an SPI bus in ESPHome

SPI is a very common high-speed protocol for a lot of devices. The SPI bus usually consists of 4 wires:
|
|
|
|
- **CLK**: Is used to tell the receiving device when to read data. All devices on the bus can
|
|
share this line. Sometimes also called ``SCK``.
|
|
- **CS** (chip select): Is used to tell the receiving device when it should listen for data. Each device has
|
|
an individual CS line. Sometimes also called ``SS``. If the SPI bus has a single device, its CS pin
|
|
can sometimes be connected to ground to tell it that it is always selected.
|
|
- **MOSI** (also DIN): Is used to send data from the master (the ESP) to the receiving device. All devices on the bus can
|
|
share this line.
|
|
- **MISO** (also DOUT): Is used to receive data. All devices on the bus can
|
|
share this line.
|
|
|
|
In some cases one of **MOSI** or **MISO** do not exist as the receiving device only accepts data or sends data.
|
|
|
|
To set up SPI devices in ESPHome, you first need to place a top-level SPI hub like below which defines what pins to
|
|
use for the functions described above. The **CS** pins are then individually managed by the components. The ``spi:``
|
|
component also accepts a list of buses if you want to have multiple SPI buses with your ESP (though this should
|
|
rarely be necessary, as the SPI bus can be shared by the devices).

Configuration variables:
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
- **clk_pin** (**Required**, :ref:`Pin Schema <config-pin_schema>`): The pin used for the clock line of the SPI bus.
|
|
- **mosi_pin** (*Optional*, :ref:`Pin Schema <config-pin_schema>`): The pin used for the MOSI line of the SPI bus.
|
|
- **miso_pin** (*Optional*, :ref:`Pin Schema <config-pin_schema>`): The pin used for the MISO line of the SPI bus.
|
|
- **force_sw** (*Optional*, boolean): Whether software implementation should be used even if hardware one is available.
|
|
- **id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Manually specify the ID for this SPI hub if you need multiple SPI hubs.
|
|
|
|
**Please note:** while both ESP8266 and ESP32 support the reassignment of the default SPI pins to other GPIO pins, using the dedicated SPI pins can improve performance and stability for certain ESP/device combinations.
