Hi mKeRix

Which pins on the nodemcu-32s did you wire your sensor to? and would it ba as simple as changing temps[4][4] and etc... to temps[1][1] to make it work with D6T-1A-01?

kind regards

I just matched the pins via the data sheet. I don't remember it exactly, but it's just power, ground and then the i2c pins on your board. In my case those were pins 21 and 22.

The D6T-1A-01 only has a single output, so you don't need most of the code above. You can probably reuse the connection logic (readTemps), but would need to change the output format and read buffer size (Wire.requestFrom). The rest you can just skip: either you output the temperature directly as a sensor, or you apply some threshold to it.

Hi @coolbombom did you make it work on 1A I have d6t-1a-02 trying to figure out how to do.

Hi @mKeRix can you please guide

What I wrote above also applies to the D6T-1A-02, you can rework the code to match the 1A protocol and only return one temperature. The D6T white paper has a specific code snippet for that which you need to convert to the Wire library. You can get rid of the Sobel and thresholding code, as there is nothing to filter on one temperature. And then either apply a threshold to make it a binary sensor or update the class to a complete sensor and output the temperature (see the ESPHome docs for that).

ASNy updates on this thread - really keen to get this sensor working smoothly with ESPHome

What about making it work with amg8833

Hi @mKeRix I'm not so well versed with the libraries. Is it possible to re-write this for D6T-1A? found this arduino code for d6t-1A, but not quite sure how to port it! https://github.com/hankha/d6t-ap-SeatOccupancy-arduino/blob/master/examples/d6t-1a/d6t-1a.ino
