# pimatic-bh1750 | ||
Pimatic support for the bh1750 light intensity sensor | ||
|
||
### Drivers | ||
|
||
I2C drivers need to be loaded in order to create the connection between the physical sensor and the rPI. | ||
You can load them from the terminal (or from the /etc/modules script). | ||
|
||
sudo modprobe i2c_dev | ||
sudo modprobe i2c_bcm2708 | ||
|
||
You might also need to uncomment the following line in /boot/config.txt | ||
|
||
dtparam=i2c_arm=on | ||
|
||
### Example config | ||
|
||
Add the plugin to the plugin section: | ||
|
||
```json | ||
{ | ||
"plugin": "bh1750" | ||
} | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Then add a sensor for your device to the devices section: | ||
|
||
```json | ||
{ | ||
"id": "my-sensor", | ||
"name": "bh1750 example", | ||
"class": "BH1750Sensor", | ||
"device": "/dev/i2c-0", | ||
"address": "0x23", | ||
"interval": 10000 | ||
} | ||
``` |
