|
|
The ``gps`` component allows you to connect GPS modules to your ESPHome project.
|
|
Any GPS module that uses the standardized NMEA communication protocol will work.

|
|
|
|
For this component to work you need to have set up a :ref:`UART bus <uart>`
|
|
in your configuration - only the RX pin should be necessary.

# Example configuration entry
|
|
|
|
# Declare GPS module
|
|
gps:
|
|
latitude:
|
|
name: "Latitude"
|
|
longitude:
|
|
name: "Longitude"
|
|
altitude:
|
|
name: "Altitude"
|
|
|
|
# GPS as time source
|
|
time:
|
|
- platform: gps
|
|
|
|
The component is split up in platforms, by defining the GPS module
|
|
(as seen above).
|
|
|
|
In addition to retrieving GPS position data, the module can also be used as a
|
|
time platform to get the current date and time via the very accurate GPS clocks
|
|
without a network connection.
|
|
|
|
See :doc:`time/gps` for config options for the GPS time source.
|
|
|
|
