The `rpi_gpio_pwm` platform allows to control multiple lights using pulse-width modulation, for example led strips. It supports one-color, RGB and RGBW LEDs driven by GPIOs of a Raspberry Pi or a PCA9685 controller.
|
|
|
|
For controlling the GPIOs, the platform connects to the [pigpio-daemon](http://abyz.me.uk/rpi/pigpio/pigpiod.html), which must be running. On Raspbian Jessie 2016-05-10 or newer the `pigpio` library is already included. On other operating systems it needs to be installed first (see [installation instructions](https://github.com/soldag/python-pwmled#installation)).
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
To enable this platform, add the following lines to your `configuration.yaml`:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
|
light:
|
|
- platform: rpi_gpio_pwm

|
|
```
|
|
|

## Examples
|
|
|
|
In this section you find some real-life examples of how to use this sensor.
|
|
|
|
### RGB LED connected to PCA9685 controller
|
|
|
|
This example uses a [PCA9685 controller](http://www.nxp.com/products/interfaces/ic-bus-portfolio/ic-led-display-control/16-channel-12-bit-pwm-fm-plus-ic-bus-led-controller:PCA9685) to control a RGB LED.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
|
light:
|
|
- platform: rpi_gpio_pwm
|
|
leds:
|
|
- name: TV Backlight
|
|
driver: pca9685
|
|
pins: [0, 1, 2] # [R, G, B]
|
|
type: rgb
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### RGBW LED connected to PCA9685 controller
|
|
|
|
This example uses a [PCA9685 controller](http://www.nxp.com/products/interfaces/ic-bus-portfolio/ic-led-display-control/16-channel-12-bit-pwm-fm-plus-ic-bus-led-controller:PCA9685) to interact with a RGBW LED.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
|
light:
|
|
- platform: rpi_gpio_pwm
|
|
leds:
|
|
- name: Lightstrip Desk
|
|
driver: pca9685
|
|
pins: [3, 4, 5, 6] # [R, G, B, W]
|
|
type: rgbw
|
|
```
