APDS9306 Sensor

Component

The apds9306 sensor component allows you to use APDS9306 ambient light sensors (datasheet, Broadcom) with ESPHome. The I²C is required to be set up in your configuration for this sensor to work.

# Example configuration entry
sensor:
  - platform: apds9306
    name: "APDS9306 Light Level" # below are optional
    gain: 1
    bit_width: 18
    measurement_rate: 100ms
    update_interval: 60s

Configuration variables

The apds9306 sensor allows you to use your Apds9306 to perform ambient light measurements.

address (Optional, int): The I²C address of the sensor. Should be 0x52 according to datasheet (“Contact factory for other addressing options”).
gain (Optional, int): The gain of the ambient light sensor. One of 1, 3, 6, 9, 18. Defaults to 1.
bit_width (Optional, int): The bit width/resolution of the ambient light sensor. One of:
- 20: Takes 400 ms
- 19: Takes 200 ms
- 18 (default): Takes 100 ms
- 17: Takes 50 ms
- 16: Takes 25 ms
- 13: Takes 3.125 ms
measurement_rate (Optional, int): The measurement rate of the ambient light sensor in milliseconds. One of:
