WiFi Signal Sensor¶
The wifi_signal sensor platform allows you to read the signal
strength of the currently connected WiFi Access Point.
The sensor value is the “Received signal strength indication” measured in decibel-milliwatts (dBm). These values are always negative and the closer they are to zero, the better the signal is.
# Example configuration entry
sensor:
- platform: wifi_signal
name: "WiFi Signal Sensor"

Warning
Signal strength readings are only available when WiFi is in station mode. Readings are not valid if the device is acting as an access point without any station mode connection.
