Component/Hub
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
The ``esp32_touch`` component creates a global hub for detecting touches on
|
|
the eight touch pads of the ESP32 as :ref:`binary sensors <esp32-touch-binary-sensor>`.

|
|

Configuration variables:
|
|
************************
|
|
|
|
- **setup_mode** (*Optional*, boolean): Whether debug messages with the touch pad value should
|
|
be displayed in the logs. Useful for finding out suitable thresholds for the binary sensors, but
|
|
spam the logs. See :ref:`setting up touch pads <esp32-touch-binary-sensor>`
|
|
for more information. Defaults to false.
|
|
- **id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Manually specify the ID for code generation.
|
|
|
|
Advanced options (the defaults are usually quite good, but if you're having accuracy issues, use these):
|
|
|
|
- **iir_filter** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-time`): Optionally set up an
|
|
`Infinite Impulse Response <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_impulse_response>`__
|
|
filter should be applied to all touch pads. This can increase the accuracy of the touch pads a lot, but
|
|
higher values decrease the response time. A good value to start with is ``10ms``. Default is no IIR filter.
|
|
- **sleep_duration** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-time`): Set a time period
|
|
denoting the amount of time the touch peripheral should sleep between measurements. This can decrease
|
|
power usage but make the sensor slower. Default is about 27 milliseconds.
|
|
- **measurement_duration** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-time`): Set the conversion
|
|
time for all touch pads. A longer conversion time means that more charge/discharge cycles of the touch pad
|
|
can be performed, therefore increasing accuracy. Default is about 8ms, the maximum amount.
|
|
- **low_voltage_reference** (*Optional*): The low voltage reference to use for the charge cycles. See
|
|
the `esp-idf docs <https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/api-reference/peripherals/touch_pad.html#optimization-of-measurements>`__
|
|
for a nice explanation of this. One of ``0.5V``, ``0.6V``, ``0.7V``, ``0.8V``. Default is ``0.5V``.
|
|
- **high_voltage_reference** (*Optional*): The high voltage reference to use for the charge cycles. See
|
|
the `esp-idf docs <https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/api-reference/peripherals/touch_pad.html#optimization-of-measurements>`__
|
|
for a nice explanation of this. One of ``2.4V``, ``2.5V``, ``2.6V``, ``2.7V``. Default is ``2.7V``.
|
|
- **voltage_attenuation** (*Optional*): The voltage attenuation to use for the charge cycles. See
|
|
the `esp-idf docs <https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/api-reference/peripherals/touch_pad.html#optimization-of-measurements>`__
|
|
for a nice explanation of this. One of ``1.5V``, ``1V``, ``0.5V``, ``0V``. Default is ``0V``.

Binary Sensor
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
The ``esp32_touch`` binary sensor platform lets you use the touch peripheral of the
|
|
ESP32 to detect if a certain pin is being "touched".
|
|
|
|
First, you need to setup the :ref:`global touch hub <esp32-touch-component>`. Then
|
|
you can add individual touch pads as binary sensors. When a touch is detected on these pins, the binary
|
|
sensor will report an ``ON`` state. And, of course, if no touch is detected, the binary sensor will report
|
|
an ``OFF`` state.

|
|
|
|
Configuration variables:
|
|
************************
|
|
|
|
- **pin** (**Required**, :ref:`config-pin`): The pin to detect touch
|
|
events on.
|
|
- **threshold** (**Required**, int): The threshold to use to detect touch events. Smaller values mean
|
|
a higher probability that the pad is being touched.
|
|
- **name** (**Required**, string): The name of the binary sensor.
|
|
- **id** (*Optional*,
|
|
:ref:`config-id`): Manually specify
|
|
the ID used for code generation.
|
|
- **wakeup_threshold** (*Optional*, int): The threshold to use to detect touch events to wakeup from deep
|
|
sleep. Smaller values mean a higher probability that the pad is being touched. All touch pad sensors that
|
|
should trigger a wakeup from deep sleep must specify this value. The :ref:`deep_sleep-component` must also
|
|
be configured to enable a wakeup from a touch event. Note that no filter is active during deep sleep.
|
|
- All other options from :ref:`Binary Sensor <config-binary_sensor>`.

|
|
|
Touch Pad Pins
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
8 pins on the ESP32 can be used to detect touches. These are (in the default "raw" pin names):
|
|
|
|
- ``GPIO0``
|
|
- ``GPIO2``
|
|
- ``GPIO4``
|
|
- ``GPIO12``
|
|
- ``GPIO13``
|
|
- ``GPIO14``
|
|
- ``GPIO15``
|
|
- ``GPIO27``
|
|
- ``GPIO32``
|
|
- ``GPIO33``
|
|
|
|
Finding thresholds
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
For each touch pad you want to monitor, you need to find a threshold first. This threshold is
|
|
used to determine if a pad is being touched or not using the raw values from the sensor. Lower
|
|
raw values mean that it is more likely that a touch is happening. For example, values around
|
|
1000 to 1600 usually mean the pad is not being touched, and values in the range of 600 and less
|
|
mean the pad is probably being touched.
|
|
|
|
To find suitable threshold values, first configure the :ref:`ESP32 touch hub <esp32-touch-component>`
|
|
to output measured values using the ``setup_mode:`` configuration option. Next, add some binary sensors
|
|
for the touch pads you want to observe. Also put some threshold in the configuration as seen below
|
|
to make the validator happy, we are going to find good thresholds in a moment anyway.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
# Example configuration entry for finding threshold values
|
|
esp32_touch:
|
|
setup_mode: true
|
|
|
|
binary_sensor:
|
|
- platform: esp32_touch
|
|
name: "ESP32 Touch Pad GPIO27"
|
|
pin: GPIO27
|
|
threshold: 1000
|
|
|
|
Then upload the program and open the logs, you will see values like these. Try touching the pins
|
|
and you will (hopefully) see the value decreasing a bit. Play around with different amounts of
|
|
force you put on the touch pad until you find a good value that can differentiate between
|
|
touch/non-touch events.
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: images/esp32_touch-finding_thresholds.png
|
|
:align: center
|
|
|
|
Finally, put your threshold parameter in the configuration. Do not forget to disable the ``setup_mode``
|
|
option again by setting it to ``false``. Otherwise you will end up spamming the logs and slowing the device
|
|
down.
