MAX31855 K-Type Thermocouple Temperature Sensor
===============================================

:description: Instructions for setting up MAX31855 Thermocouple temperature sensors.
:image: max31855.jpg
The ``max31855`` temperature sensor allows you to use your MAX31855 thermocouple
temperature sensor (`datasheet <https://datasheets.maximintegrated.com/en/ds/MAX31855.pdf>`__) with ESPHome
As the communication with the MAX31855 is done using SPI, you need
to have an :ref:`SPI bus <spi>` in your configuration with the **miso_pin** set (MOSI is not required).
Connect ``GND`` to ``GND``, ``VCC`` to ``3.3V`` and the other three ``MISO`` (or ``SO`` for short),
``CS`` and ``CLOCK`` (or ``CLK``) to free GPIO pins.

# Example configuration entry
spi:
miso_pin: D0
clk_pin: D1
sensor:
- platform: max31855
name: "Living Room Temperature"
cs_pin: D2
update_interval: 60s
Configuration variables:
------------------------
- **name** (**Required**, string): The name for the temperature sensor.
- **cs_pin** (**Required**, :ref:`Pin Schema <config-pin_schema>`): The Chip Select pin of the SPI interface.
- **update_interval** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-time`): The interval to check the sensor. Defaults to ``60s``.
- **reference_temperature** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Access the internal temperature sensor of the MAX31855. Requires a **name** and/or **id**.
- **spi_id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Manually specify the ID of the :ref:`SPI Component <spi>` if you want to use multiple SPI buses.
- **id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Manually specify the ID used for code generation.
- All other options from :ref:`Sensor <config-sensor>`.
