The ``bh1750`` sensor platform allows you to use your BH1750
|
|
(`datasheet <http://www.mouser.com/ds/2/348/bh1750fvi-e-186247.pdf>`__)
|
|
ambient light sensor with ESPHome. The :ref:`I²C bus <i2c>` is required to be set up in
|
|
your configuration for this sensor to work.

# Example configuration entry
|
|
sensor:
|
|
- platform: bh1750
|
|
name: "BH1750 Illuminance"
|
|
address: 0x23
|
|
measurement_time: 69
|
|
update_interval: 60s
|
|
|
|
By default the **measurement_time** is set to ``69`` which will result into measurements up
|
|
to 54612.5 lx for this sensor. For low-light situtations consider to choose a higher
|
|
measurement_time up to ``254`` which will result in a maximum measurement range up to 14835 lx.
|
|
For sunny scenes (for example outdoors with sunlight) use lower values down to ``31`` which will
|
|
give you the maximum measurement range up to 121556 lx.
|
|
|
|
Configuration variables:
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
- **name** (**Required**, string): The name for the sensor.
|
|
- **address** (*Optional*, int): Manually specify the I^2C address of the sensor.
|
|
Defaults to ``0x23`` (address if address pin is pulled low). If the address pin is pulled high,
|
|
the address is ``0x5C``.
|
|
- **measurement_time** (*Optional*, int): Manually specify the measurement time between ``31``
|
|
and ``254``. Defaults to ``69``.
|
|
- **resolution** (*Optional*, string): The resolution of the sensor in lx. One of ``4.0``,
|
|
``1.0``, ``0.5``. Defaults to ``0.5`` (the maximum resolution).
|
|
- **update_interval** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-time`): The interval to check the
|
|
sensor. Defaults to ``60s``.
|
|
- **id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Manually specify the ID used for code
|
|
generation.
|
|
- All other options from :ref:`Sensor <config-sensor>`.
