Home Assistant Raspberry Pi GPIO PWM custom integration

This is a spin-off from the original Home Assistant integration which was marked as deprecated and will be removed in Home Assistant Core 2022.4.

The rpi_gpio_pwm platform allows to control multiple lights using pulse-width modulation, for example LED strips. It supports one-color LEDs driven by GPIOs of a Raspberry Pi (same host or remote) For controlling the GPIOs, the platform connects to the pigpio-daemon (http://abyz.me.uk/rpi/pigpio/pigpiod.html), which must be running. On Raspbian Jessie 2016-05-10 or newer the pigpio library is already included. On other operating systems it needs to be installed first (see installation instructions: https://github.com/soldag/python-pwmled#installation).

For Home Assistant this daemon can be installed as an add-on (https://github.com/Poeschl/Hassio-Addons/tree/master/pigpio).

Installation

HACS

The recommend way to install ha-rpi_gpio_pwm is through HACS.

Manual installation

Copy the ha-rpi_gpio_pwm 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 ha-rpi_gpio_pwm folder and all of its contents into it.

Configuration

To enable this platform, add the following lines to your configuration.yaml:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
light:
  - platform: rpi_gpio_pwm
    leds:
      - name: Lightstrip Cupboard
        pin: 17

CONFIGURATION VARIABLES

leds list (REQUIRED): Can contain multiple LEDs.
name string (REQUIRED): The name of the LED.
pin integer (REQUIRED): The pin connected to the LED as a list.
frequency integer (optional, default: 100): The PWM frequency.
host string (optional, default: localhost): The remote host address for the GPIO driver.
port integer (optional, default: 8888): The port on which the GPIO driver is listening.
