ESPHome: Temperature and Humidity Sensors

Use Zones on the Konnected Alarm Panel family with different types of digital sensors in ESPHome

DHT Temperature & Humidity Sensors

DHT Sensors work on most input zones. To set a zone as a DHT temperature/humidity sensor, remove that zone from the default binary sensor packages, then add the zone to your configuration under the sensor component:

sensor:
  - platform: dht
    pin: $zone3
    temperature:
      name: Temperature
      id: zone3_temp
    humidity:
      name: Humidity
      id: zone3_humi
    update_interval: 60s

DS18B20 Temperature Probes

These also work using the Dallas component. You can even connect multiple sensors/probes to a single zone because they're individually addressed. To set a zone to read one or more DS18b20 sensors, remove that zone from the default list of packages, then add the zone to your configuration under the dallas component and sensor component as shown:

dallas:
  - pin: $zone3

sensor:
  - platform: dallas
    address: 0x1c0000031edd2a28
    name: Aquarium Temperature

See the ESPHome documentation for tips on getting individual sensor IDs.

Other Sensor Types

ESPHome supports tons of different types of sensors. Most ESPHome sensors should work on most Konnected Alarm Panel Zones. Experiment and let us know if you come up with an interesting use case!
