Generic sensors I like to keep an eye on for now

sensor:

• platform: systemmonitor
  resources:
  • { type: memory_use_percent }
  • { type: processor_use }
• platform: command_line
  name: CPU Temp
  command: "cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp"
  unit_of_measurement: "°C"
  value_template: '{{ value | multiply(0.001) }}'

This is all of the I/O from my custom board

bwio:
port: /dev/bwio

binary_sensor:

• platform: bwio
  pins:
  0: [ littlewindow, opening ]
  1: [ diningwindow, opening ]
  2: [ pin2, opening ] # unknown signal, always ok, where is it?
  3: [ primarymotion, motion ]

  4: disconnected wire in the wall of the bedroom

  5: [ doorbell, sound ]

  6: no input present

  7: isn't connected, used as ground

  8: [ livingroomwindow, opening ]
  9: [ officewindow, opening ]
  10: [ backdoor, opening ]
  11: [ bedroomslider, opening ]
  12: [ garagedoor, opening ]
  13: [ patioslider, opening ]
  14: [ frontdoor, opening ]

  15 isn't connected, used as ground
