to_ntc_temperature

Convert your sensor values available as resistance values into corresponding temperatures using an NTC characteristic curve.

Configuration variables:

• calibration (Required): calibration data.

A resistance/temperature characteristic curve is required to use this filter. This can be taken from a corresponding diagram in a data sheet. If you do not have access to the data sheet or want to calculate these values yourself, you must first measure three resistance values at different temperatures. Heat or cool the NTC to three different temperatures (preferably widely separated temperatures) and note the resistance values at these temperatures. Then enter these values in the calibration parameter:

- platform: template
  id: to_ntc_temperature_sensor1
  unit_of_measurement: "°C"
  lambda: |-
    return id(some_sensor).state;
  update_interval: 1s
  filters:
    - to_ntc_temperature:
        calibration:
          - 10.0kOhm -> 25°C
          - 27.219kOhm -> 0°C
          - 14.674kOhm -> 15°C

The filter determines coefficients for the Steinhart-Hart_ equation from the specified pairs of values which can also be specified directly as an alternative.
