Need a little help

[sidren]

I have a few of the ESP32_Bat_Pro boards, and cant seem to figure out how to add these files to esphome? Could you give me a few more instructions on how to setup my yaml? I have added these to my config directory, but can't seem to figure out how to esphome to use the sensor.

Thank you for putting this together.

I am using this with an Adafruit LC709203f board with a garden solar sensor.

I've got it working (with some code changes due to esphome updates that I've forked from here) by doing the following:

In the esphome folder that contains all of your configs, create a folder called 'custom_components' and copy the files into a subfolder called 'lc709203f'

In my yaml I have the following bits of code :

external_components:
  - source:
      type: local
      path: custom_components

i2c:
  - id: bus_a
    sda: 23
    scl: 22
    scan: False

sensor:
  - platform: lc709203f
    address: 0x0B
    i2c_id: bus_a
    battery_voltage:
      name: "Garden sensor battery V"
      filters:
        - sliding_window_moving_average:
            window_size: 5
            send_every: 5
    battery_level:
      name: "Garden sensor battery lvl"
      filters:
        - sliding_window_moving_average:
            window_size: 5
            send_every: 5
    icversion:
      name: "Garden sensor IC"
    cell_charge:
      name: "Garden sensor cell charge"
      filters:
        - sliding_window_moving_average:
            window_size: 5
            send_every: 5
            #send_first_at: 3
    update_interval: 1s

This feeds back all the information into my homeassistant server.

Hope this helps!

Thank You! Unfortunately despite following your exact steps. I get an error "Platform not found: 'sensor.lc709203f'. I'm using the esphome addon version from home assistant (2022.4.0).

Disregard. I used your forked version files and now all is well. Thank you!!
