This pilight sensor platform for 433 MHz devices uses a value in the message payload as the sensor value. Unique identifiers (e.g., uuid) can be set to distinguish between multiple pilight devices. To use a pilight sensor the pilight Home Assistant hub has to be set up.

{% linkable_title Configuration %}

To use your sensor via pilight, make sure it is supported and add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
  - platform: pilight
    variable: temperature
    payload:
      uuid: '0000-b8-27-eb-f447d3'

Configuration variables:

• variable (Required): The variable name in the data stream that defines the sensor value.
• payload (Required): Message payload identifiers. Only if all identifiers are matched the sensor value is set.
• name (Optional): Name of the sensor.
• unit_of_measurement (Optional): Defines the units of measurement of the sensor, if any.

{% linkable_title Example: Weather station %}

This section shows a real life example how to use values of a weather station.

# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
  - platform: pilight
    name: 'Temperature'
    variable: 'temperature'
    payload:
      uuid: 0000-b8-27-eb-f1f72e
    unit_of_measurement: '°C'
  - platform: pilight
    name: 'Humidity'
    variable: 'humidity'
    payload:
      uuid: 0000-b8-27-eb-f1f72e
    unit_of_measurement: '%'
  - platform: pilight
    name: 'Battery'
    variable: 'battery'
    payload:
      uuid: 0000-b8-27-eb-f1f72e
    unit_of_measurement: '%'
