LaCrosse Sensor

The lacrosse sensor platform is using the data provided by a Jeelink USB dongle or this Arduino sketch.

Tested Devices

Technoline TX 29 IT (temperature only)
Technoline TX 29 DTH-IT (including humidity)

Setup

Since the sensor change their ID after each powercycle/battery change you can check what sensor IDs are availble by using the command-line tool pylacrosse from the pylacrosse package.

$ sudo pylacrosse -d /dev/ttyUSB0 scan

To use your lacrosse compatible sensor in your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
  - platform: lacrosse
    sensors:
      sensor_identifier:
        type: SENSOR_TYPE
        id: SENSOR_ID

Configuration Variables

device

(string)(Required)The serial baudrate.

Default value: /dev/ttyUSB0

baud
