The **Compensation** {% term integration %} consumes the {% term state %} from other {% term sensors %}. It exports the compensated value as state in a separate {% term entity %} and the following values as attributes: `entity_id` and `coefficients`. A single polynomial, linear by default, is fit to all data points provided.
## Configuration
To enable the compensation sensor, add the following lines to your `configuration.yaml`:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
compensation:
media_player_db_volume:
source: media_player.yamaha_receiver
attribute: volume_level
unit_of_measurement: dB
data_points:
- [0.2, -80.0]
- [1.0, 0.0]
media_player_zone_2_db_volume:
source: media_player.yamaha_receiver_zone_2
attribute: volume_level
unit_of_measurement: dB
# Ensure that the sensor's value will not have a state lower than -80.0
# when the source sensors value is less than 0.2
lower_limit: true
# Ensure that the sensor's value will not have a state greater than 0.0
# when the source sensors value is greater than 1.0
upper_limit: true
data_points:
- [0.2, -80.0]
- [1.0, 0.0]
```
{% configuration %}
source:
description: The entity to monitor/compensate.
required: true
type: string
data_points:
description: "The collection of data point conversions with the format `[uncompensated_value, compensated_value]`. e.g., `[1.0, 2.1]`. The number of required data points is equal to the polynomial `degree` + 1. For example, a linear compensation (with `degree: 1`) requires at least 2 data points."
required: true
type: list
unique_id:
description: An ID that uniquely identifies this sensor. Set this to a unique value to allow customization through the UI.
required: false
type: string
attribute:
description: Attribute from the source to monitor/compensate. When omitted the state value of the source will be used.
required: false
type: string
degree:
description: "The degree of a polynomial. e.g., Linear compensation (y = x + 3) has 1 degree, Quadratic compensation (y = x<sup>2</sup> + x + 3) has 2 degrees, etc."
required: false
default: 1
type: integer
precision:
description: Defines the precision of the calculated values, through the argument of round().
required: false
default: 2
type: integer
unit_of_measurement:
description: Defines the units of measurement of the sensor, if any.
required: false
type: string
lower_limit:
description: "Enables a lower limit for the sensor. The lower limit is defined by the data collections (`data_points`) lowest `uncompensated_value`. For example, if the lowest `uncompensated_value` value is `1.0` and the paired `compensated_value` is `0.0`, any `source` state less than `1.0` will produce a compensated state of `0.0`."
required: false
type: boolean
default: false
upper_limit:
description: "Enables an upper limit for the sensor. The upper limit is defined by the data collections (`data_points`) greatest `uncompensated_value`. For example, if the greatest `uncompensated_value` value is `5.0` and the paired `compensated_value` is `10.0`, any `source` state greater than `5.0` will produce a compensated state of `10.0`."
required: false
type: boolean
default: false
