I´m trying to integrate the AMG8833. Actually I´m able to read the sensor and write it in the log but I´m not able to publish the list of 64 values (8x8 pixels) into esphome. I get an error at compiling time
This is my custom_8833.h:
#include "esphome.h"
#include "SparkFun_GridEYE_Arduino_Library.h"
#include <vector>
class AMG8833 : public PollingComponent, public Sensor {
public:
AMG8833() : PollingComponent(2000) {}
std::vector<float> pixels;
GridEYE grideye;
void setup() override {
ESP_LOGD("custom", "Starting up AMG8833 sensor");
grideye.begin();
delay(1000);
}
void update() override {
pixels.clear();
for(unsigned char i = 0; i < 64; i++){
pixels.push_back(grideye.getPixelTemperature(i));
ESP_LOGD("custom", "The value of sensor is: %f", this->grideye.getPixelTemperature(i));
}
publish_state(pixels);
}
};

Can I only publish floats? that could be horrible if I have to publish 64 floats
I’m also curious if you were able to get this working as I think this could be a really interesting way to do presence detection in more challenging rooms
Hola, has conseguido hacerlo funcionar??. Estoy pensando en utilizarlo como detector de presencia, sería interesante poder mandar la imagen también, pero de momento con detectar presencia me serviría.te escribo en español,porque el nombre del archivo te delata .
Not a direct answer to the question, but you can check out this post. Custom Component: Thermal Vision posted by @eyalco. He made a custom component for HA with the AMG8833 sensor, although with Arduino code.
Just as an FYI for anyone looking into this: room-assistant supports these sensors complete with a occupancy count detection and a heatmap camera entity in Home Assistant. It does not work on ESPs though, it needs a Linux board like a Pi Zero W. The code is open source, so feel free to port it to ESPHome!
Hello, did you get it to work ??. I’m thinking of using it as a presence detector, it would be interesting to be able to send the image as well, but for now, detecting presence would help me. I’m writing to you in Spanish, because the name of the file gives you away.
What is your experience? I tested this sensor and it doesn’t want to detect at a distance of 3-5m. I see a change in temperature when approaching less than 1m.
Mine is working fine in a 3-4 meter range. You need to offset the temperature readings against the actual temperature in the room. Here is a picure where I am waving my arms in front of the sensor at around 2 meters, with nearest neigbour 5 pass algoritm for interpolation.
I am using my own Arduino sketch, but the code is very similar to the code produced by esphome, so it’s easy to emplement. Esp home is way to slow since I am sending data every 200ms, thus the need for the Arduino sketch. I have implemented a websocket api to send the data to HA as a json list with 64 integer values. I then do the 5 pass nearest neighbour interpolation in javascript in the browser since a calculation like that would kill the esp device. Sounds more complicated than it is, but works like a charm. I am now working on the snapshot calibration to make it even more sensitive. I will post on github and post a link.
Another way is to just keep the espcode and make a minor change to the output sent to HA and then use my javascript code for the nearest neighbour calculation. If I have time, I will look at the esp home code and see what need to be changed.
Thank you very much and I will watch.
I received 3 pieces of these cameras from my son, but so far I put them off because I didn’t know where to start. I will consult with him about the information and hopefully we will put it into operation to our satisfaction.
I just had a quick look at the esp home code and as long as you can get the readings in to a sensor in HA, you will just need to add my interpolation code to a lovelace card and it should work. I am not using the HA lovelace fromtend at all, I have witten my own UI, so I am not to familiar with making a lovelace card, but I will have a look. This will take care of the camera view. For presense detection, a little bit of python script will be needed, but that I got ready.
Wow! So cool and exactly what I am looking for. Although if it would work on esphome… will it work with that? I read al links and googled but cannot find any confirmation. I would like to use this AMG8833 sensor with esphome as an occupancy sensor published in hass.
