ESP32 Pulse Counter Sensor
|
||
==========================
|
||
|
||
The pulse counter sensor allows you to count the number of pulses on a
|
||
specific pin using the `pulse counter
|
||
peripheral <https://esp-idf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api-reference/peripherals/pcnt.html>`__
|
||
on the ESP32.

||
# Example configuration entry
|
||
sensor:
|
||
- platform: pulse_counter
|
||
pin: 12
|
||
name: "Pulse Counter"
|
||
|
||
Configuration variables:
|
||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
||
- **pin** (**Required**, :ref:`config-pin`): The pin to count pulses on.
|
||
- **name** (**Required**, string): The name of the sensor.
|
||
- **pull_mode** (*Optional*): The `pull
|
||
mode <https://esp-idf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api-reference/peripherals/gpio.html#_CPPv218gpio_set_pull_mode10gpio_num_t16gpio_pull_mode_t>`__
|
||
of the pin. One of ``PULLUP``, ``PULLDOWN``, ``PULLUP_PULLDOWN``,
|
||
``FLOATING``. Defaults to ``FLOATING``.
|
||
- **count_mode** (*Optional*): Configure how the counter should behave
|
||
on a detected rising edge/falling edge.
|
||
|
||
- **rising_edge** (*Optional*): What to do when a rising edge is
|
||
detected. One of ``DISABLE``, ``INCREMENT`` and ``DECREMENT``.
|
||
Defaults to ``INCREMENT``.
|
||
- **falling_edge** (*Optional*): What to do when a falling edge is
|
||
detected. One of ``DISABLE``, ``INCREMENT`` and ``DECREMENT``.
|
||
Defaults to ``DISABLE``.
|
||
|
||
- **internal_filter** (*Optional*, int): If a pulse shorter than this
|
||
number of APB clock pulses (each 12.5 ns) is detected, it’s
|
||
discarded. See `esp-idf Filtering
|
||
Pulses <https://esp-idf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api-reference/peripherals/pcnt.html#filtering-pulses>`__
|
||
for more information. Defaults to the max value 1023 or about 13 µs.
|
||
- **update_interval** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-time`): The interval to check the sensor. Defaults to ``15s``.
|
||
See :ref:`sensor-default_filter`.
|
||
- **id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Manually specify the ID used for code generation.
|
||
- All other options from :ref:`Sensor <config-sensor>` and :ref:`MQTT Component <config-mqtt-component>`.
|
||
|
||
Converting units
|
||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
||
The sensor defaults to measuring its values using a unit of measurement
|
||
of “pulses/min”. You can change this by using :ref:`sensor-filters`.
|
||
For example, if you’re using the pulse counter with a photodiode to
|
||
count the light pulses on a power meter, you can do the following:
|
||
|
||
.. code:: yaml
|
||
|
||
# Example configuration entry
|
||
sensor:
|
||
- platform: pulse_counter
|
||
pin: 12
|
||
unit_of_measurement: 'kW'
|
||
name: 'Power Meter House'
|
||
filters:
|
||
- multiply: 0.06
