:description: Instructions for setting up Home Assistant sensors with ESPHome that import states from your Home Assistant instance.

|
|
|
|
The ``homeassistant`` sensor platform allows you to create sensors that import
|
|
states from your Home Assistant instance using the :doc:`native API </components/api>`.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
# Example configuration entry
|
|
sensor:
|
|
- platform: homeassistant
|
|
name: "Temperature Sensor From Home Assistant"
|
|
entity_id: sensor.temperature_sensor
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
This component is only for numeral states. If you want to import arbitrary text states
|
|
from Home Assistant, use the :doc:`Home Assistant Text Sensor </components/text_sensor/homeassistant>`.
|
|
|
|
Albeit you might not plan to __export__ states from the node and you do not need an entity of the node
|
|
in Home Assistant, this component still requires you to register the node under Home Assistant. See:
|
|
:doc:`Getting started with Hassio </guides/getting_started_hassio>`
|
|
|
|
Importing attributes is currently not supported, but you can create template sensors in Home Assistant
|
|
that return the attribute of a sensor and then import the template sensor here.
|
|
|
|
Configuration variables:
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
- **name** (**Required**, string): The name of the sensor.
|
|
- **entity_id** (**Required**, string): The entity ID to import from Home Assistant.
|
|
- **id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Manually specify the ID used for code generation.
|
|
- All other options from :ref:`Sensor <config-sensor>`.
