Hi Community,
I’ve already searched the forum, but did not find any specific information about this.
Reading the Datasheed of the MAX31856, I see that it has 2 conversion times listed, one for 1-shot reading ( around 200ms) and the other for continous reading (Auto conversion mode,
conversions 2 through n) of around 100ms.
Now, I tried lowering the update_interval, but as soon as I go under 200ms I don’t get any reading from the sensor, which begs the question, does ESPHome use only 1-shot conversions for every reading? Is there a way to switch to continous ?
Here is the config part related to the sensor, quite basic:
sensor:
- platform: max31856
name: "Group Temperature"
id: group_temperature
internal: True
mains_filter: 50Hz
update_interval: 200ms
cs_pin: GPIO12
- platform: max31856
name: "Internal Temperature"
id: internal_temperature
internal: True
mains_filter: 50Hz
update_interval: 200ms
cs_pin: GPIO1
Even if working with only one MAX31856 instead of two, has the same effect.
Any ideas ?
