I have a nodemcu setup using ESPHome with a DTH11 temp sensor. The default unit of measure is Celsius and I would like to change that to Fahrenheit. Any ideas on how I can accomplish that?
Here is the code insode of ESPHome
sensor:
- platform: dht
pin: D6
temperature:
name: "NodeMCU2 Temperature"
humidity:
name: "NodeMCU2 Humidity"
update_interval: 30s
model: DHT11
- platform: wifi_signal
name: "NodeMCU2 WiFi Signal"
update_interval: 60s
You can do it in Home assistant. Click on the temperature entity and select settings > unit of measurement.
Thank you. When I look at the entity, I don’t see a unit of measurement. Maybe I am looking in the wrong place, but I navigate to settings/devices and services/entities(tab), then click on my entity.
What version of home assistant are you running?
This is what my ESPHome DHT entity settings looks like:
Strange. I am usually up to date on my core and HA listed below. Could it be my ESPHome needs updating? It looks like I am at version 1.15.3
This is the nodemcu board info in my ESPHome config file.
esphome:
name: nodemcu2
platform: ESP8266
board: nodemcuv2
It was in 2022.4:
What are the attributes of your sensor?
Developer Tools States:
You don’t have a state class or device class though.
What version of ESPHome was the device complied with?
It has been so long I dont remember even how to compile. Is that the same as validate? I just validated, re-uploaded and restarted HAS. Still looks the same with no “device class”

No, upload re-compiles the config file.
this is done very simply and is in the esphom example.
filters:
- lambda: return x * (9.0/5.0) + 32.0;
unit_of_measurement: "°F"
Example: Converting Celsius to Fahrenheit¶
While I personally don’t like the Fahrenheit temperature scale, I do understand that having temperature values appear in the Fahrenheit unit is quite useful to some users. ESPHome uses the Celsius temperature unit internally, and I’m not planning on making converting between the two simple (
), but you can use this filter to convert Celsius values to Fahrenheit.
Everything for the sensor here
Awesome Lordzid, that worked like a charm! Thank you very much
