Description

6 Axis Gyro Sensor Module Uses Bosch’s BMI1600 sensor. It has a 3-axis accelerometer and a 3-axis gyroscope. Ideal for IoT projects with ultra low power consumption. It can be directly connected to development boards such as Arduino with its 3.3V interface.

The bmi160 sensor platform allows you to use your BMI160 Accelerometer/Gyroscope (datasheet, SparkFun) sensors with ESPHome.
The I²C Bus is required to be set up in your configuration for this sensor to work.

This component only does some basic filtering and no calibration. Due to the complexity of this sensor and the amount of possible configuration options, you should probably create an external component by copying and modifying the existing code if you want a specific new feature. Supporting all possible use cases would be quite hard.
