|
The ESP8266 Software PWM platform allows you to use a software PWM on
|
|
the pins GPIO0-GPIO16 on your ESP8266. Note that this is a software PWM,
|
|
so there can be some flickering during periods of high wifi activity. Hardware PWMs
|
|
like the one on the ESP32 (see :doc:`ledc`) are preferred.

# Example configuration entry
|
|
output:
|
|
- platform: esp8266_pwm
|
|
pin: D1
|
|
frequency: 1000 Hz
|
|
id: pwm_output
|
|
|
|
# Example usage in a light
|
|
light:
|
|
- platform: monochromatic
|
|
output: pwm_output
|
|
name: "Kitchen Light"
|
|
|
|
Configuration variables:
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
- **pin** (**Required**, :ref:`Pin Schema <config-pin_schema>`): The pin to use PWM on.
|
|
- **id** (**Required**, :ref:`config-id`): The id to use for this output component.
|
|
- **frequency** (*Optional*, frequency): The frequency to run the PWM with. Lower frequencies
|
|
have more visual artifacts, but can represent much more colors. Defaults to ``1000 Hz``.
|
|
- All other options from :ref:`Output <config-output>`.
