:description: Instructions for setting up TCA9548A I²C multiplexer in ESPHome.
:image: tca9548a.jpg
The TCA9548A component allows you to use TCA9548A as a I²C multiplexer
(`datasheet <https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/tca9548a.pdf>`__,
`AdaFruit`_) in ESPHome. It uses :ref:`I²C Bus <i2c>` for communication.
Once configured, you can use any of the 8 channels (TCA9548A) as separated channels for your projects.
Every Channel acts for all connected components as a virtual I²C Bus.
