The ``mlx90614`` sensor platform allows you to use your Melexis MLX90614 non-contact infrared thermometer
|
|
(`Datasheet <https://www.melexis.com/en/documents/documentation/datasheets/datasheet-mlx90614>`__,
|
|
`Product Page`_) with ESPHome. Sensor measures both ambient and object temperature that can be enabled independently.
|
|
|
|
The :ref:`I²C Bus <i2c>` is required to be set up in your configuration for this sensor to work.

Configuration variables
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
- **ambient** (*Optional*): Enables sensor entity for ambient temperature reading.
|
|
|
|
- All options from :ref:`Sensor <config-sensor>`.
|
|
|
|
- **object** (*Optional*): Enables sensor entity for object temperature reading.
|
|
|
|
- **emissivity** (*Optional*): Emissivity coefficient is the measure of an object's ability to emit infrared energy
|
|
compared to a theoretical perfect black body emitter. See `Emissivity Application note <https://media.melexis.com/-/media/files/documents/application-notes/mlx90614-changing-emissivity-unlocking-key-application-note-melexis.pdf?la=en>`__
|
|
for details on determining custom emissivity. Default is 1.0 which is 100% and corresponds to the ideal black body.
|
|
|
|
- All options from :ref:`Sensor <config-sensor>`.
|
|
|
|
- All other options for I²C devices described at :ref:`I²C Bus <i2c>`.
