The ``switch`` domain includes all platforms that should show up like a
switch and can only be turned ON or OFF.

Base Switch Configuration
-------------------------
.. code-block:: yaml
2018-05-13 11:37:02 +02:00
switch:
- platform: ...
name: "Switch Name"
icon: "mdi:restart"
Configuration variables:
2019-02-17 12:28:17 +01:00
- **name** (**Required**, string): The name of the switch.
- **icon** (*Optional*, icon): Manually set the icon to use for the
sensor in the frontend.
- **inverted** (*Optional*, boolean): Whether to invert the binary
state, i.e. report ON states as OFF and vice versa. Defaults
to ``false``.
2019-02-17 12:28:17 +01:00
- **internal** (*Optional*, boolean): Mark this component as internal. Internal components will
not be exposed to the frontend (like Home Assistant). Only specifying an ``id`` without
a ``name`` will implicitly set this to true.
2019-02-17 19:09:52 +01:00
- **on_turn_on** (*Optional*, :ref:`Action <config-action>`): An automation to perform
when the switch is turned on. See :ref:`switch-on_turn_on_off_trigger`.
- **on_turn_off** (*Optional*, :ref:`Action <config-action>`): An automation to perform
when the switch is turned off. See :ref:`switch-on_turn_on_off_trigger`.
- **disabled_by_default** (*Optional*, boolean): If true, then this entity should not be added to any client's frontend,
(usually Home Assistant) without the user manually enabling it (via the Home Assistant UI).
Requires Home Assistant 2021.9 or newer. Defaults to ``false``.
2021-11-07 19:24:55 +01:00
- **entity_category** (*Optional*, string): The category of the entity.
See https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/core/entity/#generic-properties
for a list of available options. Requires Home Assistant 2021.11 or newer.
Set to ``""`` to remove the default entity category.
2019-02-17 12:28:17 +01:00
- If MQTT enabled, All other options from :ref:`MQTT Component <config-mqtt-component>`.

2018-06-01 18:10:00 +02:00

.. _switch-is_on_condition:
.. _switch-is_off_condition:
``switch.is_on`` / ``switch.is_off`` Condition
**********************************************
This :ref:`Condition <config-condition>` checks if the given switch is ON (or OFF).
.. code-block:: yaml
# In some trigger:
on_...:
if:
condition:
# Same syntax for is_off
switch.is_on: my_switch

lambda calls

************
2018-06-07 15:55:31 +02:00
From :ref:`lambdas <config-lambda>`, you can call several methods on all switches to do some
advanced stuff (see the full API Reference for more info).
2018-06-07 15:55:31 +02:00
- ``publish_state()``: Manually cause the switch to publish a new state and store it internally.
If it's different from the last internal state, it's additionally published to the frontend.
.. code-block:: yaml
2018-06-07 15:55:31 +02:00
// Within lambda, make the switch report a specific state
id(my_switch).publish_state(false);
id(my_switch).publish_state(true);
- ``state``: Retrieve the current state of the switch.
.. code-block:: yaml
2018-06-07 15:55:31 +02:00
// Within lambda, get the switch state and conditionally do something
if (id(my_switch).state) {
2018-06-07 15:55:31 +02:00
// Switch is ON, do something here
} else {
// Switch is OFF, do something else here
}
- ``turn_off()``/``turn_on()``: Manually turn the switch ON/OFF from code.
2018-06-07 15:55:31 +02:00
Similar to the ``switch.turn_on`` and ``switch.turn_off`` actions,
but can be used in complex lambda expressions.
.. code-block:: yaml
2018-06-07 15:55:31 +02:00
2019-01-06 18:56:14 +01:00
id(my_switch).turn_off();
id(my_switch).turn_on();
2018-06-07 15:55:31 +02:00
// Toggle the switch
2019-01-06 18:56:14 +01:00
id(my_switch).toggle();
2018-06-07 15:55:31 +02:00
2019-02-17 19:09:52 +01:00
.. _switch-on_turn_on_off_trigger:
``switch.on_turn_on`` / ``switch.on_turn_off`` Trigger
******************************************************
This trigger is activated each time the switch is turned on. It becomes active
right after the switch component has acknowledged the state (e.g. after it switched
ON/OFF itself).
.. code-block:: yaml
switch:
- platform: gpio # or any other platform
# ...
on_turn_on:
- logger.log: "Switch Turned On!"
on_turn_off:
- logger.log: "Switch Turned Off!"
