PMWCS3 Capacitive Soil Moisture and Temperature Sensor

The pmwcs3 sensor platform allows you to use your PMWCS3 (informations) capacitive soil moisture and temperature sensor with ESPHome. The I²C bus is required to be set up in your configuration for this sensor to work. Wiring scheme: red is 3.3V, black & shield is GND, green is SDA and white is SCL. 2.2kOhm resistors are advised to pullup both SDA & SDA lines.

PMWCS3 Capacitive Soil Moisture and Temperature Sensor.

# Example configuration entry
sensor:
  - platform: pmwcs3
    e25:
      name: "pmwcs3 e25"
    ec:
      name: "pmwcs3 ec"
    temperature:
      name: "pmwcs3 temperature"
    vwc:
      name: "pmwcs3 vwc"

Configuration variables

e25 (Optional): Electrical Conductivity, reference at 25°C in dS/m. All options from Sensor.
ec (Optional): Electrical Conductivity in mS/m. All options from Sensor.
temperature (Optional): Soil temperature in °C. All options from Sensor.
vwc (Optional): Volumetric Water Content in cm3cm−3. All options from Sensor.
address (Optional, int): Manually specify the I²C address of the sensor. Defaults to 0x63.
update_interval (Optional, Time): The interval to check the sensor. Defaults to 60s.

`pmwcs3.air_calibration` Action

The pmwcs3 probe can to be calibrated in dry/air conditions. The air calibration is a 30s procedure.

# Example configuration entry
sensor:
  - platform: pmwcs3
    id: pmwcs3_id
    # ...

# in some trigger
on_...:
  - sensor.pmwcs3_id.air_calibration:
      id: pmwcs3_id

Configuration option:

id (Required, ID): The ID of the pmwcs3 sensor.

`pmwcs3.water_calibration` Action

The pmwcs3 probe can to be also calibrated in water saturated conditions. Install the probe into a glass of water. The water calibration is also a 30s procedure.

# Example configuration entry
sensor:
  - platform: pmwcs3
    id: pmwcs3_id
    # ...

# in some trigger
on_...:
  - sensor.pmwcs3_id.water_calibration:
      id: pmwcs3_id

Configuration option:

id (Required, ID): The ID of the pmwcs3 sensor.

`pmwcs3.new_i2c_address` Action

A new I2C address can be set (for multi-probes cases for example)

# Example configuration entry
sensor:
  - platform: pmwcs3
    id: pmwcs3_id
    # ...

# in some trigger
on_...:
  - sensor.pmwcs3_id.new_i2c_address:
      id: pmwcs3_id
      address: 0x65

Configuration options:

id (Required, ID): The ID of the pmwcs3 sensor.
address (Required, int): New I2C address.
