Home Assistant GPIO custom integration

**This is a spin-off from the ha-rpi_gpio integration, adapted in ha-gpio to work with libgpiod2 instead and partially redone by me to get the button event driven and some cleanups **

The gpio integration supports the following platforms: Binary Sensor and Switch

Installation

Manual installation

Copy the gpio folder and all of its contents into your Home Assistant's custom_components folder. This folder is usually inside your /config folder. If you are running Hass.io, use SAMBA to copy the folder over. You may need to create the custom_components folder and then copy the gpio folder and all of its contents into it.

Usage

Platform

The gpio platform should be initialized using the path to the gpio chip. Default is /dev/gpiochip0. Add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

# GPIO platform configuration
gpio:
  path: /dev/gpiochip0

Binary Sensor

The gpio binary sensor platform allows you to read sensor values of the GPIOs of your device.

Configuration

To use your device's GPIO in your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

# Basic configuration.yaml entry
binary_sensor:
  - platform: gpio
    sensors:
      - port: 11
        name: "PIR Office"
      - port: 12
        name: "PIR Bedroom"

# Full configuration.yaml entry
binary_sensor:
  - platform: gpio
    sensors:
      - port: 11
        name: "PIR Office"
        unique_id: "pir_office_sensor_port_11"
        bouncetime: 80
        invert_logic: true
        pull_mode: "DOWN"
      - port: 12
        name: "PIR Bedroom"
        unique_id: "pir_bedroom_sensor_port_12"

Options

Key	Required	Default	Type	Description
sensors	yes		list	List of sensor IO ports (Raspberry Pi BCM mode pin numbers)
name	yes		string	The name for the binary sensor entity
unique_id	no		string	An ID that uniquely identifies the sensor. Set this to a unique value to allow customization through the UI
bouncetime	no	50	integer	The time in milliseconds for port debouncing
invert_logic	no	false (ACTIVE HIGH)	boolean	If true, inverts the output logic to ACTIVE LOW
pull_mode	no	UP	string	Type of internal pull resistor to use: UP - pull-up resistor, DOWN - pull-down resistor

Switch

The gpio switch platform allows you to control the GPIOs of your device.

Configuration

To use your device's GPIO in your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

# Basic configuration.yaml entry
switch:
  - platform: gpio
    switches:
      - port: 11
        name: "Fan Office"
      - port: 12
        name: "Light Desk"

# Full configuration.yaml entry
switch:
  - platform: gpio
    switches:
      - port: 11
        name: "Fan Office"
        unique_id: "fan_office_switch_port_11"
      - port: 12
        name: "Light Desk"
        unique_id: "light_desk_switch_port_12"
        invert_logic: true

Options

Key	Required	Default	Type	Description
switches	yes		list	List of switch IO ports (Raspberry Pi BCM mode pin numbers)
name	yes		string	The name for the switch entity
unique_id	no		string	An ID that uniquely identifies the switch. Set this to a unique value to allow customization through the UI
invert_logic	no	false	boolean	If true, inverts the output logic to ACTIVE LOW

A common question is what does Port refer to, this number is the actual GPIO #, not the pin #. For example, if you have a relay connected to pin 11 its GPIO # is 17.

# Basic configuration.yaml entry
switch:
  - platform: gpio
    switches:
      - port: 17
        name: "Speaker Relay"
