:description: Instructions for setting up servos in ESPHome
|
|
:image: servo.png
|
|
|
|
The ``servo`` component allows you to use servo motors with ESPHome. Servos are
|
|
motor controllers that contain all the electronics necessary for driving the motor and provide
|
|
a simple PWM interface to control the motor.
|
|
|
|
This integration works with both continuous-rotation and absolute servos and has a similar
|
|
interface to the Arduino Servo library.
|
|
|
|
First, create an :ref:`output component <output>` (here ``esp8266_pwm``) for the pin the
|
|
servo is connected to. Then connect that output to the servo component by assigning an ID.
|
|
Please note the frequency of the output must be around 50Hz, as most servo controllers
|
|
only operate in this frequency range.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
This component will not show up in the Home Assistant front-end automatically because
|
|
Home Assistant doesn't have support for servos. Please see :ref:`servo-ha-config`.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
# Example configuration entry
|
|
servo:
|
|
- id: my_servo
|
|
output: pwm_output
|
|
|
|
# Example output platform
|
|
output:
|
|
- platform: esp8266_pwm
|
|
id: pwm_output
|
|
pin: D1
|
|
frequency: 50 Hz
|
|
|
|
Configuration variables:
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
- **output** (**Required**, :ref:`config-id`): The ID of the output component to use for this servo.
|
|
- **id** (**Required**, :ref:`config-id`): The ID of this servo so that it can be controlled.
|
|
|
|
Advanced Options:
|
|
|
|
- **min_level** (*Optional*, percentage): The PWM duty cycle the minimum value (-100%) will map
|
|
to. Defaults to ``3%``.
|
|
- **idle_level** (*Optional*, percentage): The PWM duty cycle the idle value (0%) will map
|
|
to. This is also the state of the servo at startup. Defaults to ``7.5%``.
|
|
- **max_level** (*Optional*, percentage): The PWM duty cycle the maximum value (100%) will map
|
|
to. Defaults to ``12.0%``.

``servo.write`` Action
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
To use your servo motor in :ref:`automations <automation>` or templates, you can use this action to set the
|
|
target level of the servo from -100% to 100%.
|
|
|
|
- -100% (= -1.0) is the minimum value of the servo. For continuous-rotation servos this will
|
|
rotate the servo backward.
|
|
- 0% (= 0.0) is the idle level of the servo. For continuous-rotation servos this will
|
|
stop the servo.
|
|
- 100% (= 1.0) is the maximum value of the servo. For continuous-rotation servos this will
|
|
rotate the servo forward.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
on_...:
|
|
then:
|
|
- servo.write:
|
|
id: my_servo
|
|
level: -100.0%
|
|
|
|
# Templated
|
|
- servo.write:
|
|
id: my_servo
|
|
# For template values, range is [-1; 1]
|
|
level: !lambda |-
|
|
if (id(my_binary_sensor).state) {
|
|
return 1.0;
|
|
} else {
|
|
return -1.0;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Configuration options:
|
|
|
|
- **id** (**Required**, :ref:`config-id`): The ID of the servo.
|
|
- **level** (*Optional*, percentage, :ref:`templatable <config-templatable>`): The target level.
|
|
Range is from -100% to 100% (-1.0 to 1.0).
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
This action can also be expressed as a :ref:`lambda <config-lambda>`:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: cpp
|
|
|
|
id(my_servo).write(1.0);
|
|
|
|
.. _servo-ha-config:
|
|
|
|
Home Assistant Configuration
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
This component will not show up in the Home Assistant frontend automatically because Home Assistant
|
|
does not support servos natively (raise this issue in Home Assistant forums to make this a
|
|
higher priority for Home Assistant). You can add this to your Home Assistant configuration to
|
|
be able to control the servo from the frontend.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
