The `sensehat` sensor platform allows you to display information collected by a [Sense HAT](https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/sense-hat/) add-on board for Raspberry Pi.
## {% linkable_title Configuration %}
To add this platform to your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
- platform: sensehat
display_options:
- temperature
- humidity
- pressure
```
{% configuration %}
display_options:
description: List of details to monitor.
required: true
default: "`memory_free`"
type: list
keys:
temperature:
description: Temperature
humidity:
description: Humidity
pressure:
description: Pressure
name:
description: Change the name of te sensor, for in the frontend.
required: false
type: string
is_hat_attached:
description: Declaring that the SenseHAT _is_ physically on the Raspberry Pi.
required: false
default: true
type: boolean
{% endconfiguration %}
#### {% linkable_title Customizing the Sense HAT data %}
**Format the sensor values**
Add the following to your `sensor`:
{% raw %}
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
- platform: sensehat
display_options:
- temperature
- humidity
- pressure
- platform: template
sensors:
sensehat_temperature:
value_template: '{{ states.sensor.temperature.state | round(1) }}'
unit_of_measurement: '°C'
sensehat_pressure:
value_template: '{{ states.sensor.pressure.state | round(1) }}'
unit_of_measurement: 'mb'
sensehat_humidity:
value_template: '{{ states.sensor.humidity.state | round(1) }}'
unit_of_measurement: '%'
```
{% endraw %}
**Give the values friendly names & icons**
Add the following to your `customize`:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
customize:
sensor.sensehat_temperature:
icon: mdi:thermometer
friendly_name: "Temperature"
sensor.sensehat_humidity:
icon: mdi:weather-rainy
friendly_name: "Humidity"
sensor.sensehat_pressure:
icon: mdi:gauge
friendly_name: "Pressure"
```
**Create a group**
Add the following to your `groups`:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
group:
sense_hat:
name: Sense HAT
entities:
- sensor.sensehat_temperature
- sensor.sensehat_humidity
- sensor.sensehat_pressure
```
Add the sense_hat group (_Kitchen for example_)
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
group:
kitchen:
- group.sense_hat
```
### {% linkable_title Directions for installing on Raspberry Pi All-In-One installer and HASSbian: %}
Here are the steps to make the _SenseHAT_ sensor work _successfully_ with the virtual environment versions.
#### {% linkable_title Install SenseHAT package to _homeassistant_venv_ %}
```bash
# switch to the homeassistant_venv environment
sudo -u homeassistant -H -s
source /srv/homeassistant/homeassistant_venv/bin/activate
# install the sense-hat lib
pip3 install sense-hat
# be patient, this will take a long while
```
#### {% linkable_title Return to `pi` %}
Type `exit` to quit out of the _homeassistant_venv_ back to your `pi` environment.
As all of the following steps should be under the `pi` user environment.
#### {% linkable_title Install _RTIMU_ %}
```bash
# pi user environment: Install RTIMU
pip3 install rtimulib
# pi user environment: Add _homeassistant_ user to the _input_, _video_ and the _i2c_ groups
sudo addgroup homeassistant input
sudo addgroup homeassistant i2c
sudo addgroup homeassistant video
# HA environment: Add symlink to RTIMU
ln -s /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/RTIMU.cpython-35m-arm-linux-gnueabihf.so /srv/homeassistant/lib/python3.5/site-packages/
# pi user environment: Reboot Raspberry Pi to apply changes
sudo reboot
```
Unfortunately enabling the SenseHAT Sensor component for a Virtual Environment install of Home Assistant fails with errors.
_(The Raspberry Pi All-In-One installer and HASSbian both run Home Assistant in an virtual environment)._
These issues have been discussed in the repository issue (#5093)[https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/issues/5093)
This fix has been tested with a clean install of:
* [Raspbian Jessie - version January 2017](https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspbian/images/raspbian-2017-01-10/)
and
* [Home Assistant 0.37.1](/getting-started/installation-raspberry-pi-all-in-one/)
For setting up the Sense HAT's RGB LED matrix as lights within Home Assistant, please see the [Sense HAT light component](/components/light.sensehat/).
