Output module¶
Expander used in relay board. You likely must have this configured.
Example config¶
output:
- id: kitchenlight
kind: mcp
mcp_id: mcp2
pin: 15
output_type: light
restore_state: True
output:
- id: kitchenlight
kind: pca
pca_id: pca1
pin: 15
output_type: led
restore_state: True
percentage_default_brightness: 1
You can mix outputs in one configuration file, or you can split them to more than one file - check configuration how to load yaml files.
Configuration variables:¶
- id (Optional, string, default: value of
{kind}_{pin}) - uniquely identifies this device in MQTT and Home Assistant. - kind (Required, string, allowed_values:
['gpio', 'mcp']) - What kind of output it is. For relay board alwas usemcp - pin (Required, string) - PIN id of MCP of GPIO. For MCP it’s value 0-15.
- output_type (Required, string, allowed_values:
['switch', 'light', 'cover', 'none']) - What type of output it is. Switch/light shows as such device in Home Assistant. Value none means that this output is not published to MQTT. None can be used in groups. Cover is internal only also, but for covers. - momentary_turn_on (Optional, timeperiod) - Time period after relay will be turned off. Examples 50ms, 500ms, 5s, 20mins, 2hours
- momentary_turn_off (Optional, timeperiod) - Time period after relay will be turned on. Examples 50ms, 500ms, 5s, 20mins, 2hours
- restore_state (Optional, boolean, default: False) - You can enable restore_state option. It’s bit experimental. It saves state of relay or cover in
state.jsonfile, which is located in same directory as yourconfig.json. Ifoutput_typeis None, then this value is overwritten to False!
PCA9685 only:¶
- percentage_default_brightness (Required, integer, default: 1) - This option allow for pca make default brightness value when you just turn on the output from for example home assistant app. When you set brightness by chose value in home assistant it will set brightens that what you pick by app.
