:description: Instructions for setting up a UDP binary sensor.

|
|
|
|
The ``udp`` binary sensor platform allows you to receive binary sensor data directly from another ESPHome node.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
# Example configuration entry
|
|
binary_sensor:
|
|
- platform: udp
|
|
id: switch_status
|
|
provider: light-switch
|
|
remote_id: light_switch
|
|
|
|
Configuration variables
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
- **id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Manually specify the ID used for code generation.
|
|
- **provider** (**Required**, string): The name of the provider node.
|
|
- **remote_id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): The ID of the original binary sensor in the provider device. If not specified defaults to the ID configured with ``id:``.
|
|
- **name** (*Optional*, string): The name of the binary sensor.
|
|
- **internal** (*Optional*, boolean): Whether the sensor should be exposed via API (e.g. to Home Assistant.) Defaults to ``true`` if name is not set, required if name is provided.
|
|
- All other options from :ref:`Binary Sensor <config-binary_sensor>`.
|
|
|
|
At least one of ``id`` and ``remote_id`` must be configured.
|
|
|
|
Publishing to Home Assistant
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
Typically this type of binary sensor would be used for internal automation purposes rather than having it published back to
|
|
Home Assistant, since it would be a duplicate of the original sensor.
|
|
|
|
If it *is* desired to expose the binary sensor to Home Assistant, then the ``internal:`` configuration setting needs to be explicitly
|
|
set to ``false`` and a name provided.
|
|
Only the state (i.e. binary value) of the remote sensor is received by the consumer, so any other attributes must be explicitly
|
|
configured.
