Detailed Description

This class includes support for the TSL2591 i2c ambient light sensor.

The device has two distinct sensors. One is for visible light plus infrared light, and the other is for infrared light. They are reported as separate sensors, and the difference between the values is reported as a third sensor as a convenience for visible light only.

Member Function Documentation

◆ automatic_gain_update()

void esphome::tsl2591::TSL2591Component::automatic_gain_update ( uint16_t  full_spectrum)

Updates the gain setting based on the most recent full spectrum reading.

Calculates and updates the sensor gain setting, trying to keep the full spectrum counts near the middle of the range.

This gets called on update and tries to keep the ADC readings in the middle of the range

It's hard to tell how far down to turn the gain when it's at the top of the scale, so decrease the gain by up to 2 steps if it's near the top to be sure we get a good reading next time. Increase gain by max 2 steps per reading.

If integration time is 100 MS, divide the upper thresholds by 2 to account for ADC saturation

Parameters
full_spectrumThe ADC reading for TSL2591 channel 0.

1/3 FS = 21,845

Definition at line 420 of file tsl2591.cpp.

◆ disable()

void esphome::tsl2591::TSL2591Component::disable ( )

Powers off the TSL2591 device.

You can call this from an ESPHome script if you are explicitly controlling TSL2591 power consumption. The device starts enabled in ESPHome unless power save mode is enabled.

Definition at line 33 of file tsl2591.cpp.

◆ disable_if_power_saving_()

void esphome::tsl2591::TSL2591Component::disable_if_power_saving_ ( )
protected

Definition at line 39 of file tsl2591.cpp.

◆ dump_config()

void esphome::tsl2591::TSL2591Component::dump_config ( )
overridevirtual

Used by ESPHome framework.

Reimplemented from esphome::Component.

Definition at line 87 of file tsl2591.cpp.

◆ enable()

void esphome::tsl2591::TSL2591Component::enable ( )

Powers on the TSL2591 device and enables its sensors.

You only need to call this if you have disabled the device. The device starts enabled in ESPHome unless power save mode is enabled.

Definition at line 26 of file tsl2591.cpp.

◆ get_actual_gain()

float esphome::tsl2591::TSL2591Component::get_actual_gain ( )

Reads the actual gain used.

Useful for exposing the real gain used when configured in "auto" gain mode

Definition at line 465 of file tsl2591.cpp.

◆ get_calculated_lux()

float esphome::tsl2591::TSL2591Component::get_calculated_lux ( uint16_t  full_spectrum,
uint16_t  infrared 
)

Calculates and returns a lux value based on the ADC readings.

Calculates a lux value from the two TSL2591 physical sensor ADC readings.

Parameters
full_spectrumThe ADC reading for the full spectrum sensor.
infraredThe ADC reading for the infrared sensor.

The lux calculation is copied from the Adafruit TSL2591 library. There is some debate about whether it is the correct lux equation to use. We use that lux equation because (a) it helps with a transition from using that Adafruit library to using this ESPHome integration, and (b) we don't have a definitive better idea.

Since the raw ADC readings are available, you can ignore this method and implement your own lux equation.

Parameters
full_spectrumThe ADC reading for TSL2591 channel 0.
infraredThe ADC reading for TSL2591 channel 1.

Definition at line 356 of file tsl2591.cpp.

◆ get_combined_illuminance()

uint32_t esphome::tsl2591::TSL2591Component::get_combined_illuminance ( )

Get the combined illuminance value.

This is encoded into a 32 bit value. The high 16 bits are the value of the infrared sensor. The low 16 bits are the sum of the combined sensor values.

If power saving mode is enabled, there can be a delay (up to the value of the integration time) while waiting for the device ADCs to signal that values are valid.

Definition at line 264 of file tsl2591.cpp.

◆ get_illuminance() [1/2]

uint16_t esphome::tsl2591::TSL2591Component::get_illuminance ( TSL2591SensorChannel  channel)

Get an individual sensor channel reading.

This gets an individual light sensor reading. Since it goes through the entire component read cycle to get one value, it's not optimal if you want to get all possible channel values. If you want that, first call get_combined_illuminance() and pass that value to the companion method with a different signature.

If power saving mode is enabled, there can be a delay (up to the value of the integration time) while waiting for the device ADCs to signal that values are valid.

Parameters
channelThe sensor channel of interest.

Definition at line 321 of file tsl2591.cpp.

◆ get_illuminance() [2/2]

uint16_t esphome::tsl2591::TSL2591Component::get_illuminance ( TSL2591SensorChannel  channel,
uint32_t  combined_illuminance 
)

Get an individual sensor channel reading from combined illuminance.

This gets an individual light sensor reading from a combined illuminance value, which you would obtain from calling getCombinedIlluminance(). This method does not communicate with the sensor at all. It's strictly local calculations, so it is efficient if you call it multiple times.

Parameters
channelThe sensor channel of interest.
combined_illuminanceThe previously obtained combined illuminance value.

Definition at line 326 of file tsl2591.cpp.

◆ get_setup_priority()

float esphome::tsl2591::TSL2591Component::get_setup_priority ( ) const
overridevirtual

Used by ESPHome framework.

Reimplemented from esphome::Component.

Definition at line 253 of file tsl2591.cpp.

◆ interval_function_for_update_()

void esphome::tsl2591::TSL2591Component::interval_function_for_update_ ( )
protected

Definition at line 172 of file tsl2591.cpp.

◆ is_adc_valid()

bool esphome::tsl2591::TSL2591Component::is_adc_valid ( )

Are the device ADC values valid?

Useful for scripting. This should be checked before calling update(). It asks the TSL2591 if the ADC has completed an integration cycle and has reliable values in the device registers. If you call update() before the ADC values are valid, you may cause a general delay in the ESPHome update loop.

It should take no more than the configured integration time for the ADC values to become valid after the TSL2591 device is enabled.

Definition at line 255 of file tsl2591.cpp.

◆ process_update_()

void esphome::tsl2591::TSL2591Component::process_update_ ( )

Definition at line 138 of file tsl2591.cpp.

◆ set_actual_gain_sensor()

Used by ESPHome framework.

Definition at line 217 of file tsl2591.cpp.

◆ set_calculated_lux_sensor()

void esphome::tsl2591::TSL2591Component::set_calculated_lux_sensor ( sensor::Sensor calculated_lux_sensor)

Used by ESPHome framework.

Definition at line 213 of file tsl2591.cpp.

◆ set_device_and_glass_attenuation_factors()

void esphome::tsl2591::TSL2591Component::set_device_and_glass_attenuation_factors ( float  device_factor,
float  glass_attenuation_factor 
)

Sets the device and glass attenuation factors.

The lux equation, used to calculate the lux from the ADC readings, involves a scaling coefficient that is the product of a device factor (specific to the type of device being used) and a glass attenuation factor (specific to whatever glass or plastic cover is installed in front of the light sensors.

AMS does not publish the device factor for the TSL2591. In the datasheet for the earlier TSL2571 and in application notes, they use the value 53, so we use that as the default.

The glass attenuation factor depends on factors external to the TSL2591 and is best obtained through experimental measurements. The Adafruit TSL2591 library use a value of ~7.7, which we use as a default. Waveshare uses a value of ~14.4. Presumably, those factors are appropriate to the breakout boards from those vendors, but we have not verified that.

Parameters
device_factorThe device factor.
glass_attenuation_factorThe glass attenuation factor.

Used by ESPHome framework.

Does NOT actually set the value on the device.

Definition at line 221 of file tsl2591.cpp.

◆ set_integration_time_and_gain()

void esphome::tsl2591::TSL2591Component::set_integration_time_and_gain ( TSL2591IntegrationTime  integration_time,
TSL2591Gain  gain 
)

Set device integration time and gain.

These are set as a single I2C transaction, so you must supply values for both.

Longer integration times provides more accurate values, but also means more power consumption. Higher gain values are useful for lower light intensities but are also subject to more noise. The device might use a slightly different gain multiplier than those indicated; see the datasheet for details.

Possible values for integration_time (from enum TSL2591IntegrationTime) are:

Possible values for gain (from enum TSL2591Gain) are:

Parameters
integration_timeThe new integration time.
gainThe new gain.

Definition at line 232 of file tsl2591.cpp.

◆ set_name()

void esphome::tsl2591::TSL2591Component::set_name ( const char *  name)

Sets the name for this instance of the device.

Parameters
nameThe user-friendly name.

Definition at line 251 of file tsl2591.cpp.

◆ set_power_save_mode()

void esphome::tsl2591::TSL2591Component::set_power_save_mode ( bool  enable)

Should the device be powered down between readings?

The disadvantage of powering down the device between readings is that you have to wait for the ADC to go through an integration cycle before a reliable reading is available. This happens during ESPHome's update loop, so waiting slows down the entire ESP device. You should only enable this if you need to minimize power consumption and you can tolerate that delay. Otherwise, keep the default of disabling power save mode.

Parameters
enableEnable or disable power save mode.
