# Switches
|
|
|
|
This is the simplest form:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"entity": "light.bedside_light_switch",
|
|
"name": "Bedroom Light",
|
|
"type": "toggle"
|
|
},
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To support a non-standard light, switch, or automation as a toggle menu item you may like to define a custom switch. In order to facilitate custom switches at this time, you must create a template switch in HomeAssistant.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
switch:
|
|
- platform: template
|
|
switches:
|
|
<switch-name>:
|
|
friendly_name: <name>
|
|
value_template: <value>
|
|
turn_on:
|
|
service: <service>
|
|
data:
|
|
entity_id: <entity>
|
|
<attribute>: <value>
|
|
turn_off:
|
|
service: <service>
|
|
data:
|
|
entity_id: <entity>
|
|
<attribute>: <value>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then you can use the following in your config:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"entity": "switch.<switch-name>",
|
|
"name": "<name>",
|
|
"type": "toggle"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Example - Covers
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
switch:
|
|
- platform: template
|
|
switches:
|
|
cover:
|
|
friendly_name: Cover
|
|
value_template: "{{ is_state('cover.cover', 'open') }}"
|
|
turn_on:
|
|
service: cover.open_cover
|
|
data:
|
|
entity_id: cover.cover
|
|
turn_off:
|
|
service: cover.close_cover
|
|
data:
|
|
entity_id: cover.cover
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then you can use the following in your config:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"entity": "switch.cover",
|
|
"name": "Cover",
|
|
"type": "toggle"
|
|
}
|
|
```
