INA219 DC Current Sensor
The ina219
sensor platform allows you to use your INA219 High Side DC Current Sensor
(datasheet,
Adafruit
_) sensors with
ESPHome. The I²C Bus is
required to be set up in your configuration for this sensor to work.


# Example configuration entry

- platform: ina219
address: 0x40
shunt_resistance: 0.1 ohm
current:
name: "INA219 Current"
power:
name: "INA219 Power"
bus_voltage:
name: "INA219 Bus Voltage"
shunt_voltage:

Configuration variables:

- address (Optional, int): Manually specify the I²C address of the sensor. Defaults to
0x40
. - shunt_resistance (Optional, float): The value of the shunt resistor on the board for current calculation.
Defaults to
0.1 ohm
. - max_voltage (Optional, float): The maximum bus voltage you are expecting. ESPHome will use this to
configure the sensor optimally. Defaults to
32V
(the max). - max_current (Optional, float): The maximum current you are expecting. ESPHome will use this to
configure the sensor optimally. Defaults to
3.2A
. - current (Optional): Use the current value of the sensor in amperes. All options from Sensor.
- power (Optional): Use the power value of the sensor in watts. All options from Sensor.
- bus_voltage (Optional): Use the bus voltage (voltage of the high side contact) value of the sensor in V. All options from Sensor.
- shunt_voltage (Optional): Use the shunt voltage (voltage across the shunt resistor) value of the sensor in V. All options from Sensor.
- update_interval (Optional, Time): The interval to check the sensor. Defaults to
60s
