ZigBee Sensor

There are two types of ZigBee sensor available to Home Assistant:

• Analog input pin
• Temperature sensor (XBee Pro)

Analog Input Pin

The analog input pins on an XBee (non-Pro) will read 0V to 1.2V. This is translated by the xbee-helper library into a percentage. The maximum voltage your ZigBee device will read is configurable using the max_volts configuration variable.

To configure an analog input pin sensor, use the following variables:

• name (Required): The name you’d like to give the sensor in Home Assistant.
• platform (Required): Set to zigbee.
• type (Required): Set to analog.
• pin (Required): The number identifying which pin to sample.
• address: The long 64bit address of the remote ZigBee device whose analog input pin you’d like to sample. Do not include this variable if you want to sample the local ZigBee device’s pins.
• max_volts: The maximum voltage which the analog input pin is able to read. Default: 1.2

Example

sensor:
  - name: My Analog Input
    platform: zigbee
    type: analog
    pin: 0
    address: 0013A2004233D138

See the Digi knowledge base for more XBee sampling details.

Temperature Sensor

The XBee Pro (and perhaps other third party modules) contains a thermometer device which can be read by using the TP AT command. To set this up as a temperature sensor device in Home Assistant use the following config variables:

• name (Required): The name you’d like to give the temperature sensor in Home Assistant
• platform (Required): Set to zigbee
• type (Required): Set to temperature
• address: The long 64bit address of the remote ZigBee device whose temperature sensor you’d like to sample. Do not include this variable if you want to sample the local ZigBee device’s temperature.

Example

sensor:
  - name: Living Room Temperature
    platform: zigbee
    type: temperature
    address: 0013A20050E752C5
