|
|
.. warning::
|
|
|
|
Custom components are deprecated, not recommended for new configurations and will be removed from ESPHome in a
|
|
future release. Please look at creating a real ESPHome component and "importing" it into your configuration with
|
|
:doc:`/components/external_components`.
|
|
|
|
You can find some basic documentation on creating your own components at :ref:`contributing_to_esphome`.
|
|
|
|
.. warning::
|
|
|
|
While we try to keep the ESPHome YAML configuration options as stable as possible, the ESPHome API is less
|
|
stable. If something in the APIs needs to be changed in order for something else to work, we will do so.
|
|
|
|
This component can be used to create custom binary sensors in ESPHome using the C++ (Arduino) API.
|
|
|
|
Please first read :doc:`/components/sensor/custom` guide, the same principles apply here and binary
|
|
sensors are very similar to sensors internally.
|
|
|
|
The example below is an example of a custom binary sensor; this custom sensor is essentially the
|
|
same as the gpio binary sensor.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: cpp
|
|
|
|
#include "esphome.h"
|
|
|
|
class MyCustomBinarySensor : public PollingComponent, public BinarySensor {
|
|
public:
|
|
// constructor
|
|
MyCustomBinarySensor() : PollingComponent(15000) {}
|
|
|
|
void setup() override {
|
|
// This will be called by App.setup()
|
|
pinMode(5, INPUT);
|
|
}
|
|
void update() override {
|
|
// This will be called every "update_interval" milliseconds.
|
|
|
|
// Publish an OFF state
|
|
bool state = digitalRead(5);
|
|
publish_state(state);
|
|
}
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
(Store this file in your configuration directory, for example ``my_binary_sensor.h``)
|
|
|
|
And in YAML:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
# Example configuration entry
|
|
esphome:
|
|
includes:
|
|
- my_binary_sensor.h
|
|
|
|
binary_sensor:
|
|
- platform: custom
|
|
lambda: |-
|
|
auto my_custom_sensor = new MyCustomBinarySensor();
|
|
App.register_component(my_custom_sensor);
|
|
return {my_custom_sensor};
|
|
|
|
binary_sensors:
|
|
name: "My Custom Binary Sensor"
|
|
|
|
Configuration variables:
|
|
|
|
- **lambda** (**Required**, :ref:`lambda <config-lambda>`): The lambda to run for instantiating the
|
|
binary sensor(s).
|
|
- **binary_sensors** (**Required**, list): A list of binary sensors to initialize. The length here
|
|
must equal the number of items in the ``return`` statement of the ``lambda``.
|
|
|
|
- All options from :ref:`Binary Sensor <config-binary_sensor>`.
|
|
|
|
