MAX31856 Thermocouple Temperature Sensor
The MAX31856 temperature sensor allows you to use your MAX31856 Thermocouple
temperature sensor (datasheet) with ESPHome.
Adafruit_As the communication with the MAX31856 is done using SPI, you need to have an spi bus in your configuration with both miso_pin and mosi_pin set.

# Example configuration entry
sensor:
- platform: max31856
name: BBQ Temperature
icon: mdi:hamburger
cs_pin: GPIOXXConfiguration variables
- cs_pin (Required, Pin Schema): The Chip Select pin of the SPI interface.
- update_interval (Optional, Time): The interval to check the sensor. Defaults to
60s. - mains_filter (Optional, string): The mains power frequency to reject (
50 Hzor60 Hz). Defaults to60 Hz. - thermocouple_type (Optional, string): The type of thermocouple used. MAX31856 supports: B, E, J, K, N, R, S, and T. Defaults to
K. - spi_id (Optional, ID): Manually specify the ID of the SPI Component if you want to use multiple SPI buses.
- All other options from Sensor.
