TSL2561 Ambient Light Sensor
The tsl2561 sensor platform allows you to use your TSL2561
(datasheet,
Adafruit_)
ambient light sensor with ESPHome. The I²C is required to be set up in
your configuration for this sensor to work.
# Example configuration entry
sensor:
- platform: tsl2561
name: "TSL2561 Ambient Light"
address: 0x39
update_interval: 60sConfiguration variables
address (Optional, int): Manually specify the I²C address of the sensor. Defaults to
0x39.integration_time (Optional, Time): The time the sensor will take for each measurement. Longer means more accurate values. One of
14ms,101ms,402ms. Defaults to402ms.gain (Optional, string): The gain of the sensor. Higher values are better in low-light conditions. One of
1xand16x. Defaults to1x.is_cs_package (Optional, boolean): The “CS” package of this sensor has a slightly different formula for calculating the illuminance in lx. Set this to
trueif you’re working with a CS package. Defaults tofalse.update_interval (Optional, Time): The interval to check the sensor. Defaults to
60s.All other options from Sensor.
