VEML6075 UVA/UVB/UVINDEX Sensor~
This feature is not included in precompiled binaries
To use it you must compile your build. Add the following to user_config_override.h:
#ifndef USE_VEML6075
#define USE_VEML6075 // Add I2C code for VEML6075 sensor
#endif
This little sensor is a great way to add UVA and UVB light sensing to any microcontroller project. The VEML6075 from Vishay has both true UVA and UVB band light sensors and an I2C-controlled ADC that will take readings and integrate them. The sensor also comes with calibration registers so you can easily convert the UVA/UVB readings into the UV Index.
Configuration~
Wiring~
| VEML6075 | ESP8266 |
|---|---|
| GND | GND |
| VCC | 3.3V |
| SDA | GPIOx |
| SCL | GPIOy |
Tasmota Settings~
In the Configuration -> Configure Module page assign:
- GPIOx to
I2C SDA (6) - GPIOy to
I2C SCL (5)
Commands and Use~
| Console Commands | Description | values |
|---|---|---|
| VEML6075power | Power on/off the modul | 0/1 |
| VEML6075inttime | UV integration time (50ms, 100ms, 200ms, 400ms, 800ms) | 0/1/2/3/4 |
| VEML6075dynamic | dynamic setting (low, high) | 0/1 |
Tasmota Main~
After a reboot the driver will detect VEML6075 automatically and display UVA/UVB/UVindex intensity.
