This `temper` sensor platform allows you to get the current temperature from a TEMPer device.
|
|
|
|
To use your TEMPer sensor in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
|
sensor:
|
|
- platform: temper
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
Configuration options for the a TCP Sensor:
|
|
|
|
- **name** (*Optional*): The name you would like to give the sensor in Home Assistant.
|
|
- **scale** (*Optional*): The scale for the sensor.
|
|
- **offset** (*Optional*): The offset to fix reported vales.
|
|
|
|
Since some of these sensors consistently show higher temperatures the scale and offset values can be used to fine-tune your sensor.
|
|
The calculation follows the formula `scale * sensor value + offset`.
|
|
|
|
The TEMPer sensors can only be accessed as root by default. To fix the USB permissions on your system create the file `/etc/udev/rules.d/99-tempsensor.rules` and add the following line to it:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ACTION=="add", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0c45", ATTRS{idProduct}=="7401", MODE="666"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After that re-plug the device and restart Home Assistant.
