<p>The <a href="https://www.arduino.cc/">Arduino</a> device family are microcontroller boards that are often based on the ATmega328 chip. They come with digital input/output pins (some can be used as PWM outputs), analog inputs, and a USB connection. The equipment depends on the <a href="https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Products">type</a> of board. The most common ones are the Arduino Uno and the Arduino Leonardo with 14 digital input/output pins and 6 analog input pins.</p>
<p>There are a lot of extensions (so called <a href="https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoShields">shields</a>) available. Those shields can be plugged-in into the existing connectors and stacked on top of each other. This makes it possible to expand the capabilities of the Arduino boards.</p>
<p>The arduino component is designed to let you use a directly attached board to your Home Assistant host over USB.</p>
<p>You need to have the <a href="https://github.com/firmata/">Firmata firmware</a> on your board. Please upload the <code>StandardFirmata</code> sketch to your board, please refer to the <a href="https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Howto">Arduino documentation</a> for further information.</p>
<p>To integrate an Arduino boards with Home Assistant, add the following section to your <code>configuration.yaml</code> file:</p>
<div class="highlighter-coderay"><div class="CodeRay">
<div class="code"><pre><span class="comment"># Example configuration.yaml entry</span>
<span class="key">arduino</span>:
<span class="key">port</span>: <span class="string"><span class="content">/dev/ttyACM0</span></span>
</pre></div>
</div>
</div>
<p>Configuration variables:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>port</strong> (<em>Required</em>): The port where your board is connected to your Home Assistant host. If you are using an original Arduino the port will be named <code>ttyACM*</code> otherwise <code>ttyUSB*</code>.</li>
</ul>
<p>The exact number can be determined with the command shown below.</p>
<div class="highlighter-coderay"><div class="CodeRay">
<div class="code"><pre>$ ls /dev/ttyACM*
</pre></div>
</div>
</div>
<p>If thats not working, check your <code>dmesg</code> or <code>journalctl -f</code> output. Keep in mind that Arduino clones are often using a different name for the port (eg. <code>/dev/ttyUSB*</code>).</p>
<p class="note warning">
A word of caution: The Arduino boards are not storing states. This means that with every initialization the pins are set to off/low.
