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 0-1.2 Volts. 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.
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
