A noob question: how to run/use a "keypad" component? #11
Comments
You don't use the |
Great, many thanks! Keypad now works! Now i have to send finished code into HA- how should i create text sensor to send finished code into HA? (sorry for "dumb" questions, i'm pretty noob in these things... i'm still heavily learning...) |
The keypad |
Is there a way to use this with the PCF8574 componant? I guess I need a I2C keypad library or componant? |
https://esphome.io/components/pcf8574.html |
I recommend coming to the esphome Discord server for more interactive help. |
I'll come check it out thank you. |
That's what i thought, too, but i get nothing in HA, nor i find any "keypad" sensor... i did a copy/paste of your example in my yaml.
It would be a very good idea to implement a reset after, say, 5-10 seconds. Currently it can happen a situation when someone (passing by) accidentally (or intentionally) hits a number or two and when i come to enter a number it won't be correct one unless i hit asterix first an only then enter a number. |
Same here, it seems that no sensor is exposed to Homeassistant so I cannot process the entered code there. Has anyone solved that? |
I had the same. It's due to the fact that he didn't use the 'name:' field. If you add the name field, it should probably work. |
I didn't think it's generally useful to publish the value directly to HA. It's something you would normally process locally on the ESP. But yes, it's a standard |
@belgianrubs just letting you know that there have been very large changes in how to use this component, so your documentation is out of date. Did you write it before |
@ssieb Sorry for the late response, totally missed your question. I'm not sure about that, I downloaded the files back in the day and copied them into the custom_components folder. |
Hello!
I'm struggling, but with no success. Can someone please point me into correct procedure? I just don't know how to run "keypad" (or any other, to be honest) component. I copied keypad folder into config/custom_components, i included keypad_text_sensor.h into my ESPHome code, but i keep getting error : component "keypad" not found.
What am i doing wrong? HA and ESPHome are wonderfull apps, it's just that beginner's help is way too hard to find...
