The `random` sensor platform is creating random sensor values (integers) out of a given range. This can be useful if you want to test automation rules.
|
|
|
|
To enable the random sensor, add the following lines to your `configuration.yaml`:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
|
sensor:
|
|
- platform: random
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Configuration variables:
|
|
|
|
- **name** (*Optional*): Name of the sensor to use in the frontend. Defaults to `Random Sensor`.
|
|
- **minimum** (*Optional*): Lower limit for the values. Defaults to `0`.
|
|
- **maximum** (*Optional*): Upper limit for the values. Defaults to `20`.
