Before you can use the IHC Sensor platform, you must setup the
[IHC Component](/components/ihc/)

When auto setup is enabled the following products will be found in the IHC
project and setup as sensors:

- Dataline temperature sensor - Will insert 2 temperature sensors
- Dataline Humidity - Will insert 1 humidity and 2 temperature sensors (calculated dewpoint)
- Dataline Lux - will insert 1 light and 1 temperature sensor

To manually configure IHC sensors insert the "sensor"
section in your IHC configuration:

```yaml
ihc:
  - url: 'http://192.168.1.3'
    username: YOUR_USERNAME2
    password: YOUR_PASSWORD2
    info: true 
    sensor:
      - id: 12345
        name: Temperatur_living_room
        unit_of_measurement: '°C'
        note: Floor and wall temp. 
        position: On wall between windows
      - id: 23456
        ...
```

{% configuration %}

      required: true
      type: integer

      type: string

{% endconfiguration %}

The resource id should be a IHC float resource. For more information about IHC
resource ids see [Manual Setup](/components/ihc/#manual-setup).
