Sensor configuration in boneIO ESP

Step-by-step guide on how to find, change the address, and configure the sensor.

Configuration of boneIO Edge Temperature & Humidity

  1. Adding the sensor.

To add the sensor to the controller, we must edit its configuration. To do this, open the controller's yaml file in your chosen editor. All we need to do is add the appropriate package from our GitHub. Link to the package repository can be found here: https://github.com/boneIO-eu/esphome_packages/tree/main

We add the package for the boneIO Edge Temperature & Humidity sensor:

boneio_edge_temp: url: https://github.com/boneIO-eu/esphome-packages/ files:

  • path: boneio-edge-temp.yaml vars: modbus_controller_id: 'boneio_edge_temp' device_name: 'boneIO Edge Temp' modbus_device_id: 'boneio_edge_temp' modbus_device_address: '0x01' #CHANGE THIS modbus_id: 'boneio_modbus' update_interval: '60s'
  1. Changing the address.

After adding the sensor to the configuration, its address must be changed. To do this, you must:

  • In the ESPHome menu, in the address field where 1 is displayed, enter your own address.
  • Disconnect the sensor's power and reconnect it - this will trigger the address change.
  • Then, in the YAML configuration, enter the address of our sensor and perform the compilation.
  • After compiling, the sensor entities will be available in the ESPHome menu.
