Base Touchscreen Configuration
------------------------------
.. code-block:: yaml
# Example configuration entry
touchscreen:
platform: gt911
id: my_touchscreen
interrupt_pin: GPIOXX
Configuration variables:
************************
- **id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Manually set the ID of this touchscreen.
- **interrupt_pin** (*Optional*, :ref:`Pin Schema <config-pin_schema>`): The touch detection pin.

Binary Sensor
-------------
In addition to touch areas on the screen configured through the :ref:`Touchscreen <config-touchscreen>` component,
the gt911 supports up to four buttons located outside of the normal touchscreen area.
On the ESP32-S3-BOX-3 the red circle below the display is such a button.
A binary sensor can be configured to react to touching these buttons.
.. code-block:: yaml
# Example configuration entry
binary_sensor:
- platform: gt911
name: "Home"
index: 0
Configuration variables:
************************
- **gt911_id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Manually specify the ID of the touchscreen.
