:description: Instructions for setting up pulse width sensors in ESPHome
:image: pulse.svg
The ``pulse_width`` sensor allows you to measure how long a given digital signal
is HIGH. For example this can be used to measure PWM signals to transmit some
value over a simple protocol.
.. code-block:: yaml
# Example configuration entry
sensor:
- platform: pulse_width
pin: D0
name: Pulse Width Sensor
Configuration variables:
------------------------
- **pin** (*Optional*, :ref:`Pin Schema <config-pin_schema>`): The pin to observe for the
pulse width.
- **update_interval** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-time`): The interval to check the sensor.
Defaults to ``60s``.
- **id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Set the ID of this sensor for use in lambdas.
