Component/Hub
-------------
The MCP3008 component allows you to use MCP3008 8-Channel 10-Bit A/D Converter
(`datasheet <http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/21295d.pdf>`__,
`Adafruit <https://www.adafruit.com/product/856>`__) in ESPHome.
It uses the :ref:`SPI Bus <spi>` for communication.
Once configured, you can use any of the 8 pins as
sensors for your projects.
Each pin will respond with a voltage calculated off of the reference_voltage (default is 3.3v).
It calculates the voltage by multiplying the reference_voltage * value on the pin (basically the percentage of VREF)
Most configurations will set the reference_voltage = VREF (pin 13 on the chip)
If you want just the scaled value you can use the read_data function
``float MCP3008::read_data(uint8_t pin)``

Sensor
------
The ``mcp3008`` sensor allows you to use your MCP3008 10-Bit A/D Converter sensors with ESPHome.
First, setup a :ref:`MCP3008 Hub <mcp3008-component>` for your MCP3008 sensor and then use this
sensor platform to create individual sensors that will report the voltage to Home Assistant.
Configuration variables:
- **id** (**Required**, :ref:`config-id`): The id of the parent MCP3008 component.
- **number** (**Required**, int): The pin number of the MCP3008
- **reference_voltage** (*Optional*, float): The reference voltage. Defaults to ``3.3V``.
- **update_interval** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-time`): The interval to check the sensor. Defaults to ``1s``.
