Dallas Temperature Sensor
=========================
The ``dallas`` sensor allows you to define sensors for you :doc:`dallas sensor hub </esphomeyaml/components/dallas>`.
To initialize a sensor, first supply either ``address`` **or** ``index`` to identify the sensor.

# Example configuration entry
dallas:
- id: dallas_hub1
pin: 23
# Individual sensors
sensor:
- platform: dallas
dallas_id: "dallas_hub1"
address: 0x1C0000031EDD2A28
index: 0
name: "Living Room Temperature"
Configuration variables:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- **address** (**Required**, int): The address of the sensor. Use either
this option or index.
- **index** (**Required**, int): The index of the sensor starting with 0.
So the first sensor will for example have index 0. :ref:`Its recommended
to use address instead <dallas-getting-ids>`.
- **resolution** (*Optional*, int): An optional resolution from 8 to
12. Higher means more accurate. Defaults to the maximum for most dallas temperature sensors: 12.
- **dallas_id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): The ID of the :doc:`dallas hub </esphomeyaml/components/dallas>`.
Use this if you have multiple dallas hubs.
- **id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Manually specify the ID used for code generation.
- All other options from :ref:`Sensor <config-sensor>` and :ref:`MQTT Component <config-mqtt-component>`.
.. _dallas-getting-ids:
Getting Sensor IDs
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is highly recommended to use the ``address`` attribute for creating
dallas sensors, because if you have multiple sensors on a bus and the
automatic sensor discovery fails, all sensors indices will be shifted by
one. In order to get the address, simply start the firmware on your
device with a configured dallas hub and observe the log output (the :ref:`log
level <logger-log_levels>` must be set to at least
``debug``!). You will find something like this:
.. figure:: images/dallas-log.png
Next, individually warm up or cool down the sensors and observe the log
output to determine which address points to which sensor.
