Analog Threshold Binary Sensor

:description: Instructions for setting up an analog threshold binary sensors.
|
||
:image: analog_threshold.svg
|
||
|
||
The ``analog_threshold`` binary sensor platform allows you to convert analog values
|
||
(i.e. :doc:`sensor </components/sensor/index>` readings)
|
||
into boolean values, using a threshold as a reference.
|
||
When the signal is above or equal to the threshold the binary sensor is ``true``
|
||
(this behavior can be changed by adding an ``invert`` filter).
|
||
|
||
It provides an *hysteresis* option to reduce instability when the source signal is noisy
|
||
using different limits depending on the current state.
|
||
Additionally a :ref:`delay filter <binary_sensor-filters>` could be used to only change
|
||
after a new state has been kept a minimum time.
|
||
|
||
If the source sensor is uninitialized at the moment of component creation, the initial
|
||
state of the binary sensor wil be ``false``, if later it has some reading errors, those
|
||
invalid source updates will be ignored, and the binary sensor will keep it´s last state.
|
||
|
||
For example, below configuration would turn the readings of current sensor into
|
||
a binary sensor.
|
||
|
||
.. code-block:: yaml
|
||
|
||
# Example configuration entry
|
||
binary_sensor:
|
||
- platform: analog_threshold
|
||
name: "Garage Door Opening"
|
||
sensor_id: motor_current_sensor
|
||
threshold: 0.5
|
||
|
||
|
||
Configuration variables
|
||
-----------------------
|
||
|
||
- **sensor_id** (**Required**, :ref:`config-id`): The ID of the source sensor.
|
||
- **threshold** (**Required**, float or mapping): Configures the reference for comparison. Accepts either a shorthand
|
||
float number that will be used as both upper/lower threshold, or a mapping to define different values for each (to
|
||
use hysteresis).
|
||
|
||
- **upper** (**Required**, float): Upper threshold, that needs to be crossed to transition from ``low`` to ``high`` states.
|
||
- **lower** (**Required**, float): Lower threshold, that needs to be crossed to transition from ``high`` to ``low`` states.
|
||
- All other options from :ref:`Binary Sensor <config-binary_sensor>`.
