The `arduino` sensor platform allows you to get numerical values from an analog input pin of an [Arduino](https://www.arduino.cc/) board. Usually the value is between 0 and 1024.
To enable an Arduino sensor with Home Assistant, add the following section to your `configuration.yaml` file:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
platform: arduino
pins:
1:
name: Door switch
0:
name: Brightness
```
{% configuration %}
pins:
description: List of pins to use.
required: true
type: map
keys:
pin_number:
description: The pin number that corresponds with the pin numbering schema of your board.
required: true
type: map
keys:
name:
default: Name that will be used in the frontend for the pin.
type: string
{% endconfiguration %}
The 6 analog pins of an Arduino UNO are numbered from A0 to A5.
