Random Sensor

The random sensor platform is creating random sensor values (integers) out of a given range. This can be useful if you want to test automation rules.

To enable the random sensor, add the following lines to your configuration.yaml:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
  - platform: random

Configuration variables:

• name (Optional): Name of the sensor to use in the frontend. Defaults to Random Sensor.
• minimum (Optional): Lower limit for the values. Defaults to 0.
• maximum (Optional): Upper limit for the values. Defaults to 20.
• unit_of_measurement (Optional): Defines the units of measurement of the sensor, if any.
