APDS9306 Sensor

Component

The apds9306 sensor component allows you to use APDS9306 ambient light sensors (datasheet, Broadcom_) with ESPHome. The I²C is required to be set up in your configuration for this sensor to work.

# Example configuration entry

Configuration variables:

The apds9306 sensor allows you to use your APDS9306 Sensor to perform ambient light measurements.

• address (Optional, int): The I²C address of the sensor. Should be 0x52 according to datasheet (“Contact factory for other addressing options”).

• gain (Optional, int): The gain of the ambient light sensor. One of 1, 3, 6, 9, 18. Defaults to 1.

• bit_width (Optional, int): The bit width/resolution of the ambient light sensor. One of:

  • 20 takes 400ms
  • 19 takes 200ms
  • 18 takes 100ms (default)
  • 17 takes 50ms
  • 16 takes 25ms
  • 13 takes 3.125ms

• measurement_rate (Optional, int): The measurement rate of the ambient light sensor in milliseconds. One of:

  • 25
  • 50
  • 100 (default);
  • 200
  • 500
  • 1000

• update_interval (Optional, Time): The interval at which the sensor reading will be updated. Defaults to 60s.

• All opther options from Sensor.
