# Switches
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
```
```json
{
"entity": "switch.cover",
"name": "Cover",
"type": "toggle"
}
```
