The `arduino` sensor platform allows allow you to get an numerical values from an analog input pin of an [Arduino](https://www.arduino.cc/) board. Usually the value is between 0 and 1024.
To enable an Arduino sensor with Home Assistant, add the following section to your `configuration.yaml` file:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
platform: arduino
pins:
1:
name: Door switch
type: analog
0:
name: Brightness
type: analog
```
Configuration variables:
- **pins** (*Required*): Array of pins to use. The number corresponds with the pin numbering schema of your board.
- **name**: Name that will be used in the frontend for the pin.
- **type**: The type of the pin. At the moment only 'analog' is supported.
The 6 analog pins of an Arduino UNO are numbered from A0 to A5.
