LaCrosse Instructions on how to integrate LaCrosse sensor data received from Jeelink into Home Assistant.

sensor
integration

The lacrosse sensor platform is using the data provided by a Jeelink USB dongle or this Arduino sketch.

Tested Devices

  • Technoline TX 29 IT (temperature only)
  • Technoline TX 29 DTH-IT (including humidity)
  • TFA Dostmann LaCrosse sensors (type 30.3147.IT)

Setup

Since the sensor change their ID after each powercycle/battery change you can check what sensor IDs are available by using the command-line tool pylacrosse from the pylacrosse package.

sudo pylacrosse -d /dev/ttyUSB0 scan

Or, when using Docker containers:

docker exec -it <containername> pylacrosse -d /dev/ttyUSB0 scan

If you are using the Home Assistant OS or Supervised installation method, these methods are not available for you. The use of an additional computer to figure out the ID is advised.

For TX 29 DTH-IT sensors you can also read the ID from the display and calculate the ID as followed: hex2dec(ID_on_display) / 4.

Configuration

To use your lacrosse compatible sensor in your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
  - platform: lacrosse
    sensors:
      sensor_identifier:
        type: SENSOR_TYPE
        id: SENSOR_ID

{% configuration %} device: description: The serial device. required: true type: string default: /dev/ttyUSB0 baud: description: The serial baudrate. required: true type: integer default: 57600 led: description: Activate or deactivate the Jeelink LED. required: false type: boolean default: false frequency: description: Initial frequency in 5kHz steps. required: false type: integer datarate: description: "Set the data rate in kbps. Special values for well-known settings are: 0: 17.241 kbps, 1: 9.579 kbps, 2: 8.842 kbps." required: false type: integer toggle_mask: description: "The following values can be combined bitwise: 1 = 17.241 kbps, 2 = 9.579 kbps, 4 = 8.842 kbps" required: false type: integer toggle_interval: description: Enable the toggle mode and set the interval in seconds. required: false type: integer sensors: description: A list of your sensors. required: true type: map keys: name: description: The name of the sensor. required: false type: string type: description: "The type of the sensor. Options: battery, humidity, temperature" required: true type: string id: description: The LaCrosse Id of the sensor. required: true type: integer {% endconfiguration %}

Examples

To setup a LaCrosse sensor with multiple sensors, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
  - platform: lacrosse
    device: /dev/ttyUSB0
    baud: 57600
    sensors:
      kitchen_humidity:
        name: Kitchen Humidity
        type: humidity
        id: 72
      kitchen_temperature:
        name: Kitchen Temperature
        type: temperature
        id: 72
      kitchen_lacrosse_battery:
        name: Kitchen Sensor Battery
        type: battery
        id: 72
