Sensors configuration

There are 3 types of sensors that are available

Power and energy sensors

  • who is optional but must be 18 should you want to set it.
  • where is a special case for those since power meters are always "5" followed by the sensor number assigned "[1-255]" for F520, the address should always be "7" followed by the sensor number assigned "[1-255]" for F522.
  • class is a required item that can be either power or energy

There is a subtle difference between setting the class to power and energy. Setting it to powerwill create an entity displaying currently used power (in Watts) live as well as 3 entities displaying the energy (in Watt Hours). (one entity for the total energy of the counter, one for daily and one for monthly, the latter 2 are disabled by default) Setting it toenergy` will provide the same energy entities but not the live power (if that is something you're not interested in)

Configuration example

  sensor:
    general_power:
      where: '51'
      name: Total power
      class: power
      manufacturer: BTicino
      model: F520
    water_heater_power:
      where: '52'
      name: Water heater
      class: power
      manufacturer: BTicino
      model: F520
    washing_machine:
      where: '71'
      name: Washing machine
      class: power
      manufacturer: BTicino
      model: F522

Temperature sensors

  • who is optional but must be 4 should you want to set it.
  • where is the address of the sensor. You can add secondary temperature sensors (with 3 digits as per OpenWebNet documentation, ie 105 is the 1st 'secondary sensor' of the 5th zone) or main temperature sensor (with 1 or 2 digit being the Zone number).
  • class must be temperature.

Configuration example

  sensor:
    bedroom_temperature:
      where: '1'
      name: Bedroom temperature
      class: temperature
      manufacturer: BTicino
      model: L4692
    temperature_sensor:
      where: '105'
      name: Secondary sensor
      class: temperature
      manufacturer: BTicino
      model: L4692

Illuminance sensors

  • who is optional but must be 1 should you want to set it.
  • class must be illuminance

Illuminance sensors are only available if the sensor itself is configured in "scenario" mode, this is similar to the requirement of the "motion" binary sensor.

Configuration example

  sensor:
    office_illuminance:
      where: '0312'
      name: Office
      class: illuminance
      manufacturer: Legrand
      model: 048822
