This integration is deprecated. Please move to the [Firmata integration](/integrations/firmata).
</div>
The [Arduino](https://www.arduino.cc/) device family are microcontroller boards that are often based on the ATmega328 chip. They come with digital input/output pins (some can be used as PWM outputs), analog inputs, and a USB connection.
The equipment depends on the [type](https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Products) of the board. The most common ones are the Arduino Uno and the Arduino Leonardo with 14 digital input/output pins and 6 analog input pins.

[Firmata](https://github.com/firmata/protocol) can be used to add digital inputs and outputs to Home Assistant. Currently, this component supports high/low digital inputs and outputs. This allows for buttons, switches, motion detectors, relay control, etc. The component can currently connect to a Firmata board via serial or serial over USB.

This allows for buttons, switches, motion detectors, relay control, sensors, potentiometers, dimmers, etc. The component can currently connect to a Firmata board via serial or serial over USB.
The Firmata protocol is a standard protocol for microcontrollers. Most of these boards are support digital and analog inputs and outputs. [Arduino](https://www.arduino.cc/) and Arduino-compatible microcontroller development boards are the most popular boards to use with Firmata.

There is currently support for the following device types within Home Assistant:
- [Binary Sensor](#binary_sensor)
- [Light](#lights)
- [Sensor](#sensors)
- [Switch](#switches)
