Slow PWM Output

:description: Instructions for setting up slow pwm outputs for GPIO pins.

|
|
|
|
Similar to PWM, the Slow PWM Output platform allows you to control GPIO pins by
|
|
pulsing them on/off over a longer time period. It could be used to control a
|
|
heating element through a relay where a fast PWM update cycle would not be appropriate.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
This is for **slow** PWM output. For fast-switching PWM outputs (for example,
|
|
lights), see these outputs:
|
|
|
|
- ESP32: :doc:`ledc`
|
|
- ESP8266: :doc:`esp8266_pwm`
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
# Example configuration entry
|
|
output:
|
|
- platform: slow_pwm
|
|
pin: D1
|
|
id: my_slow_pwm
|
|
period: 15s
|
|
|
|
|
|
Configuration variables:
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
- **id** (**Required**, :ref:`config-id`): The id to use for this output component.
|
|
- **period** (**Required**, :ref:`config-time`): The duration of each cycle. (i.e. a 10s
|
|
period at 50% duty would result in the pin being turned on for 5s, then off for 5s)
|
|
- **pin** (*Optional*, :ref:`Pin Schema <config-pin_schema>`): The pin to pulse.
|
|
- **state_change_action** (*Optional*, :ref:`Automation <automation>`): An automation to perform when the load is switched. If a lambda is used the boolean ``state`` parameter holds the new status.
|
|
- **turn_on_action** (*Optional*, :ref:`Automation <automation>`): An automation to perform when the load is turned on. Can be used to control for example a switch or output component.
|
|
- **turn_off_action** (*Optional*, :ref:`Automation <automation>`): An automation to perform when the load is turned off. ``turn_on_action`` and ``turn_off_action`` must be configured together.
|
|
- **restart_cycle_on_state_change** (*Optional*, boolean): Restart a timer of a cycle
|
|
when new state is set. Defaults to ``false``.
|
|
|
|
- All other options from :ref:`Output <config-output>`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
- If ``pin`` is defined the GPIO pin state is writen before any action is executed.
|
|
- ``state_change_action`` and ``turn_on_action``/``turn_off_action`` can be used togther. ``state_change_action`` is called before ``turn_on_action``/``turn_off_action``. It's recommended to use either ``state_change_action`` or ``turn_on_action``/``turn_off_action`` to change the state of an output. Using both automations together is only recommended for monitoring.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
|
|
output:
|
|
- platform: slow_pwm
|
|
id: my_slow_pwm
|
|
period: 15s
|
|
turn_on_action:
|
|
- lambda: |-
|
|
auto *out1 = id(output1);
|
|
out1->turn_on();
|
|
turn_off_action:
|
|
- output.turn_off: output1
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
If the duty cycle is not constrained to a maximum value, the
|
|
:doc:`/components/output/sigma_delta_output` component offers faster updates and
|
|
greater control over the switching frequency. This is better for loads that
|
|
need some time to fully change between on and off, like eletric thermal
|
|
actuator heads or fans.
