The Zio Ultrasonic Distance Sensor is an ultrasonic distance sensor based on the HC-SR04 sensor. Unlike the Ultrasonic Distance Sensor component, measurements are read over the I²C bus.

To use the sensor, first set up an I²C Bus and connect the sensor to the specified pins.

# Example configuration entry
sensor:
  - platform: zio_ultrasonic
    name: "Distance"
    update_interval: 60s

Configuration variables:

  • address (Optional, int): Manually specifiy the I²C address of the sensor. Defaults to 0x00.

  • update_interval (Optional, Time): The interval to check the sensor. Defaults to 60s.

  • All other options from Sensor.
