MLX90614 non-contact thermometer¶
The mlx90614 sensor platform allows you to use your Melexis MLX90614 non-contact infrared thermometer
(Datasheet,
Product Page) with ESPHome. Sensor measures both ambient and object temperature that can be enabled independently.
The I²C Bus is required to be set up in your configuration for this sensor to work.

# Example configuration entry
sensor:
- platform: mlx90614
ambient:
name: Ambient
object:
name: Object
Configuration variables¶
ambient (Optional): Enables sensor entity for ambient temperature reading.
All options from 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 for details on determining custom emissivity. Default is 1.0 which is 100% and corresponds to the ideal black body.
All options from Sensor.
All other options for I²C devices described at I²C Bus.
