DS1307 Time Source
==================
You first need to set up the :doc:`I2C </components/i2c>` component.
.. code-block:: yaml
# Example configuration entry
time:
- platform: ds1307
id: ds1307_time
Configuration variables
-----------------------
- **address** (*Optional*, int): Manually specify the I²C address of the RTC. Defaults to ``0x68``.
- All other options from :ref:`base_time_config`.
.. _ds1307-write_time_action:
``ds1307.write_time`` Action
----------------------------
This :ref:`Action <config-action>` triggers a synchronization of the current system time to the RTC hardware.
.. note::
The DS1307 component will *not* write the RTC clock if not triggered *explicitly* by this action.
.. code-block:: yaml
on_...:
- ds1307.write_time
# in case you need to specify the DS1307 id
- ds1307.write_time:
id: ds1307_time
.. _ds1307-read_time_action:
``ds1307.read_time`` Action
---------------------------
This :ref:`Action <config-action>` triggers a synchronization of the current system time from the RTC hardware.
.. note::
The DS1307 component will automatically read the RTC clock every 15 minutes by default and synchronize the
system clock when a valid timestamp was read from the RTC. (The ``update_interval`` can be changed.)
This action can be used to trigger *additional* synchronizations.
.. code-block:: yaml
on_...:
- ds1307.read_time
# in case you need to specify the DS1307 id
- ds1307.read_time:
id: ds1307_time
.. _ds1307-config_example:
Full Configuration Example
--------------------------
In a typical setup, you will have at least one additional time source to synchronize the RTC with. Such an
external time source might not always be available e.g. due to a limited network connection.
In order to have a valid, reliable system time, the system should read the RTC once at start and then try to
synchronize with an external reliable time source.
When a synchronization to another time source was successful, the RTC can be resynchronized.
.. code-block:: yaml
esphome:
on_boot:
then:
# read the RTC time once when the system boots
ds1307.read_time:
time:
- platform: ds1307
# repeated synchronization is not necessary unless the external RTC
# is much more accurate than the internal clock
update_interval: never
- platform: homeassistant
# instead try to synchronize via network repeatedly ...
on_time_sync:
then:
# ... and update the RTC when the synchronization was successful
ds1307.write_time:
