TEMPer Sensor
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:
# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
- platform: temper
Configuration option:
- 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.
