PCF85063 Time Source
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
You first need to set up the :doc:`I2C </components/i2c>` component.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
# Example configuration entry
|
|
time:
|
|
- platform: pcf85063
|
|
id: pcf85063_time
|
|
|
|
Configuration variables
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
- **address** (*Optional*, int): Manually specify the I²C address of the RTC. Defaults to ``0x51``.
|
|
- All other options from :ref:`base_time_config`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. _pcf85063-write_time_action:
|
|
|
|
``pcf85063.write_time`` Action
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
This :ref:`Action <config-action>` triggers a synchronization of the current system time to the RTC hardware.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
PCFe pcf85063 component will *not* write the RTC clock if not triggered *explicitly* by this action.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
on_...:
|
|
- pcf85063.write_time
|
|
|
|
# in case you need to specify the PCF85063 id
|
|
- pcf85063.write_time:
|
|
id: pcf85063_time
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. _pcf85063-read_time_action:
|
|
|
|
``pcf85063.read_time`` Action
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
This :ref:`Action <config-action>` triggers a synchronization of the current system time from the RTC hardware.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
The PCF85063 component will automatically read the RTC clock every 15 minutes by default and synchronize the
|
|
system clock when a valid timestamp was read from the RTC. (The ``update_interval`` can be changed.)
|
|
This action can be used to trigger *additional* synchronizations.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
on_...:
|
|
- pcf85063.read_time
|
|
|
|
# in case you need to specify the DS1307 id
|
|
- pcf85063.read_time:
|
|
id: pcf85063_time
|
|
|
|

Full Configuration Example
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
In a typical setup, you will have at least one additional time source to synchronize the RTC with. Such an
|
|
external time source might not always be available e.g. due to a limited network connection.
|
|
In order to have a valid, reliable system time, the system should read the RTC once at start and then try to
|
|
synchronize with an external reliable time source.
|
|
When a synchronization to another time source was successful, the RTC can be resynchronized.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
esphome:
|
|
on_boot:
|
|
then:
|
|
# read the RTC time once when the system boots
|
|
pcf85063.read_time:
|
|
|
|
time:
|
|
- platform: pcf85063
|
|
# repeated synchronization is not necessary unless the external RTC
|
|
# is much more accurate than the internal clock
|
|
update_interval: never
|
|
- platform: homeassistant
|
|
# instead try to synchronize via network repeatedly ...
|
|
on_time_sync:
|
|
then:
|
|
# ... and update the RTC when the synchronization was successful
|
|
