ESPHome Two-Pin Garage Sensor

The Two-pin garage door sensor uses two GPIO pins to detect when the door is in the upper-most ("Open") position, and the bottom-most ("Closed") position. Using knowledge of the previous state, it's able to determine when the door is "Opening" or "Closing", which both occur when neither pin is high. A simple reed sensor is typically used for the top and bottom sensors.

# Example configuration entry
text_sensor:
  - platform: two_pin_garage
    name: Garage Door
    debounce: "1s"
    top_pin:
      number: D2
      inverted: True
      mode: INPUT_PULLUP
    bottom_pin:
      number: D3
      inverted: True
      mode: INPUT_PULLUP

Configuration variables:

• top_pin (Required, Pin Schema: The input pin attached to the top sensor
• bottom_pin (Required, Pin Schema): The input pin attached to the bottom sensor
• debounce (Optional, Time): The duration to debounce both sensors. Defaults to 250ms.
• All other options from Text Sensor.

Advanced options:

• id (Optional, ID): Manually specify the ID used for code generation.

Installation

Make a folder in your esphome folder called custom_components if one doesn't already exist. Then, put the two_pin_garage folder in the custom_components folder.
