AM43 Sensor¶
The am43
sensor platform allows you to read the light and
battery sensors on an AM43 BLE cover motor. The platform connects
to the device over the ESP32’s BLE peripheral.
Note
This component does NOT support Tuya-based versions of this device, as the protocol is completely different. If your device is controlled with the SmartLife app, then it will not work.
