Component/Hub
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
The ``mpr121`` sensor platform allows you to use your MPR121
|
|
(`datasheet <https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/downloads/pdf/adafruit-mpr121-12-key-capacitive-touch-sensor-breakout-tutorial.pdf>`__,
|
|
`Adafruit`_) Capacitive Touch Sensor with ESPHome. The :ref:`I²C <i2c>` is
|
|
required to be set up in your configuration for this sensor to work.

# Example configuration entry
|
|
mpr121:
|
|
id: mpr121_component
|
|
address: 0x5A
|
|
touch_debounce: 1
|
|
release_debounce: 1
|
|
touch_threshold: 10
|
|
release_threshold: 7
|
|
|
|
binary_sensor:
|
|
- platform: mpr121
|
|
id: touch_key0
|
|
channel: 0
|
|
name: "Touch Key 0"
|
|
touch_threshold: 12
|
|
release_threshold: 6
|
|
|
|
Configuration variables:
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
The configuration is made up of two parts: The central component, and individual Binary sensors per channel.
|
|
|
|
- **address** (*Optional*, int): The I²C address of the sensor. Defaults to ``0x5A``.
|
|
- **id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Set the ID of this sensor.
|
|
- **touch_debounce** (*Optional*, int): The minimum length before a touch is recognized. Range is from 0 to 7.
|
|
Defaults to 0.
|
|
- **release_debounce** (*Optional*, int): The minimum length that no touch is recognized before a release event is created.
|
|
Range is from 0 to 7. Defaults to 0.
|
|
- **touch_threshold** (*Optional*, int): The touch threshold for all channels. This defines the sensitivity for touch detection
|
|
and should be between 5 and 30 (lower = more sensitive). Defaults to 12. Typically the touch threshold is a little bigger than the release threshold.
|
|
- **release_threshold** (*Optional*, int): The release defines the sensitivity for touch detection and should be between 5 and 30. Defaults to 6.
|
|
|
|
Binary Sensor
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
The ``mpr121`` binary sensor allows you to use your MPR121 with ESPHome.
|
|
First, setup a :ref:`mpr121-component` and then use this binary sensor platform to create individual
|
|
binary sensors for each touch sensor.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Configuration variables:
|
|
|
|
|
|
- **name** (*Optional*, string): The name for the binary sensor.
|
|
- **mpr121_id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): The ID of the MPR121 defined above. Useful for multiple MPR121's on the I²C bus
|
|
- **id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Manually specify the ID used for code generation.
|
|
- **channel** (**Required**, int): The channel number at the MPR121 the touchkey is connected to.
|
|
- **touch_threshold** (*Optional*, int): A per-channel override of the global touch_threshold value. If not specified, uses the global value.
|
|
- **release_threshold** (*Optional*, int): A per-channel override of the global release_threshold value. If not specified, uses the global value.
|
|
- All other options from :ref:`Binary Sensor <config-binary_sensor>`.
|

|
GPIO
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
The ``mpr121`` also supports configuring its touch electrodes as GPIO inputs and outputs. To do so,
|
|
specify an ``id`` in the configuration of the ``mpr121`` component. Then, configure a GPIO output or
|
|
input using this ID in the ``mpr121`` field.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
output:
|
|
- id: ext_5v_power
|
|
platform: gpio
|
|
pin:
|
|
mpr121: mpr121_component
|
|
number: 10
|
|
mode: OUTPUT
|
|
inverted: true
|
|
|
|
|
|
The ``number`` refers to the ELEx pin number on the MPR121 chip. Only ELE4 up to including ELE11 are
|
|
available as GPIO.
|
|
|
|
GPIO and touch functionality may be used at the same time, but not on the same pins.
|
|
|
|
It is also not valid to configure a pin as GPIO when a pin with a higher number is used as touch
|
|
channel. This is because touch functionality is configured as a range, starting at ELE0.
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
- Using channel 2 and 5 as touch and channel 6 as GPIO is okay
|
|
- Using channel 2 and 5 as touch and channel 4 as GPIO is not okay
|
|
