Component
---------
The ``apds9306`` sensor component allows you to use APDS9306 ambient light sensors (`datasheet <https://docs.broadcom.com/doc/AV02-4755EN>`__, `Broadcom`_) with ESPHome.
The :ref:`I²C <i2c>` is required to be set up in your configuration for this sensor to work.

# Example configuration entry
sensor:
- platform: apds9306
name: "APDS9306 Light Level" # below are optional
gain: 1
bit_width: 18
measurement_rate: 100ms
update_interval: 60s

Configuration variables:
------------------------
The ``apds9306`` sensor allows you to use your :doc:`apds9306` to perform ambient light measurements.
- **address** (*Optional*, int): The I²C address of the sensor. Should be ``0x52`` according to datasheet ("Contact factory for other addressing options").
- **gain** (*Optional*, int): The gain of the ambient light sensor. One of 1, 3, 6, 9, 18. Defaults to ``1``.
- **bit\_width** (*Optional*, int): The bit width/resolution of the ambient light sensor. One of:
- 20 - takes 400ms
- 19 - takes 200ms
- 18 - takes 100ms (``default``)
- 17 - takes 50ms
- 16 - takes 25ms
- 13 - takes 3.125ms
- **measurement\_rate** (*Optional*, int): The measurement rate of the ambient light sensor in milliseconds. One of:
- 25
- 50
- 100 (``default``);
- 200
- 500
- 1000
- **update\_interval** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-time`): The interval at which the sensor reading will be updated. Defaults to ``60s``.
- All opther options from :ref:`Sensor <config-sensor>`.
