:description: Instructions for setting up base valves in ESPHome.
:image: folder-open.svg
The ``valve`` component is a generic representation of valves in ESPHome. A valve can (currently) either be *closed* or
*open* and supports three commands: *open*, *close* and *stop*.
.. note::
To use a valve in Home Assistant requires Home Assistant 2024.5 or later.

.. _config-valve:
Base Valve Configuration
------------------------
All valve config schemas inherit from this schema - you can set these keys for valves.
.. code-block:: yaml
valve:
- platform: ...
device_class: water
Configuration variables:
- **name** (**Required**, string): The name for the valve.
.. note::
If you have a :ref:`friendly_name <esphome-configuration_variables>` set for your device and you want the valve
to use that name, you can set ``name: None``.
- **device_class** (*Optional*, string): The device class for the sensor. See
https://www.home-assistant.io/components/valve/ for a list of available options.
- **icon** (*Optional*, icon): Manually set the icon to use for the valve in the frontend.
Advanced options:
- **internal** (*Optional*, boolean): Mark this component as internal. Internal components will not be exposed to the
frontend (like Home Assistant). Only specifying an ``id`` without a ``name`` will implicitly set this to true.
- **disabled_by_default** (*Optional*, boolean): If true, this entity should not be added to any client's frontend,
(usually Home Assistant) without the user manually enabling it (via the Home Assistant UI). Defaults to ``false``.
- **entity_category** (*Optional*, string): The category of the entity. See
https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/core/entity/#generic-properties for a list of available options. Set to ``""`` to remove the default entity category.
MQTT options:
- **position_state_topic** (*Optional*, string): The topic to publish valve position changes to.
- **position_command_topic** (*Optional*, string): The topic to receive valve position commands on.
- All other options from :ref:`MQTT Component <config-mqtt-component>`.
.. _valve-open_action:
``valve.open`` Action
---------------------
This :ref:`action <config-action>` opens the valve with the given ID when executed.
.. code-block:: yaml
on_...:
then:
- valve.open: valve_1
.. note::
This action can also be expressed in :ref:`lambdas <config-lambda>`:
.. code-block:: cpp
auto call = id(valve_1).make_call();
call.set_command_open();
call.perform();
.. _valve-close_action:
``valve.close`` Action
----------------------
This :ref:`action <config-action>` closes the valve with the given ID when executed.
.. code-block:: yaml
on_...:
then:
- valve.close: valve_1
.. note::
This action can also be expressed in :ref:`lambdas <config-lambda>`:
.. code-block:: cpp
auto call = id(valve_1).make_call();
call.set_command_close();
call.perform();
.. _valve-stop_action:
``valve.stop`` Action
---------------------
This :ref:`action <config-action>` stops the valve with the given ID when executed.
.. code-block:: yaml
on_...:
then:
- valve.stop: valve_1
.. note::
This action can also be expressed in :ref:`lambdas <config-lambda>`:
.. code-block:: cpp
auto call = id(valve_1).make_call();
call.set_command_stop();
call.perform();
.. _valve-toggle_action:
``valve.toggle`` Action
-----------------------
This :ref:`action <config-action>` toggles the valve with the given ID when executed, cycling through the states
close/stop/open/stop... This allows the valve to be controlled by a single push button.
.. code-block:: yaml
on_...:
then:
- valve.toggle: valve_1
.. note::
This action can also be expressed in :ref:`lambdas <config-lambda>`:
.. code-block:: cpp
auto call = id(valve_1).make_call();
call.set_command_toggle();
call.perform();
.. _valve-control_action:
``valve.control`` Action
------------------------
This :ref:`action <config-action>` is a more generic version of the other valve actions and allows all valve attributes
to be set.
.. code-block:: yaml
on_...:
then:
- valve.control:
id: valve_1
position: 50%
Configuration variables:
- **id** (**Required**, :ref:`config-id`): The valve to control.
- **stop** (*Optional*, boolean): Whether to stop the valve.
- **state** (*Optional*, string): The state to set the valve to - one of ``OPEN`` or ``CLOSE``.
- **position** (*Optional*, float): The valve position to set.
- ``0.0`` = ``0%`` = ``CLOSED``
- ``1.0`` = ``100%`` = ``OPEN``
.. note::
This action can also be expressed in :ref:`lambdas <config-lambda>`:
.. code-block:: cpp
auto call = id(valve_1).make_call();
// set attributes
call.set_position(0.5);
call.perform();
.. _valve-lambda_calls:
Lambdas
-------
From :ref:`lambdas <config-lambda>`, you can access the current state of the valve (note that these fields are
read-only, if you want to act on the valve, use the ``make_call()`` method as shown above).
- ``position``: Retrieve the current position of the valve, as a value between ``0.0`` (closed) and ``1.0`` (open).
.. code-block:: cpp
if (id(my_valve).position == VALVE_OPEN) {
// Valve is open
} else if (id(my_valve).position == VALVE_CLOSED) {
// Valve is closed
} else {
// Valve is in-between open and closed
}
- ``current_operation``: The operation the valve is currently performing:
.. code-block:: cpp
if (id(my_valve).current_operation == ValveOperation::VALVE_OPERATION_IDLE) {
// Valve is idle
} else if (id(my_valve).current_operation == ValveOperation::VALVE_OPERATION_OPENING) {
// Valve is currently opening
} else if (id(my_valve).current_operation == ValveOperation::VALVE_OPERATION_CLOSING) {
// Valve is currently closing
}
.. _valve-on_open_trigger:
``valve.on_open`` Trigger
*************************
This trigger is activated each time the valve reaches a fully open state.
.. code-block:: yaml
valve:
- platform: template # or any other platform
# ...
on_open:
- logger.log: "Valve is Open!"
.. _valve-on_closed_trigger:
``valve.on_closed`` Trigger
***************************
This trigger is activated each time the valve reaches a fully closed state.
.. code-block:: yaml
valve:
- platform: template # or any other platform
# ...
on_closed:
- logger.log: "Valve is Closed!"
