Output Component
================

Each platform of the ``output`` domain exposes some output to
esphomelib. These are grouped into two categories: ``binary`` outputs
(that can only be ON/OFF) and ``float`` outputs (like PWM, can output
any rational value between 0 and 1).

.. _config-output:

Base Output Configuration
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Each output platform extends this configuration schema.

.. code:: yaml

    # Example configuration entry
    output:
      - platform: ...
        id: myoutput_id
        power_supply: power_supply_id
        inverted: False
        max_power: 0.75

Configuration variables:

- **id** (**Required**, :ref:`config-id`): The id to use for this output component.
- **power_supply** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): The :doc:`power
  supply </esphomeyaml/components/power_supply>` to connect to
  this output. When the output is enabled, the power supply will
  automatically be switched on too.
- **inverted** (*Optional*, boolean): If the output should be treated
  as inverted. Defaults to ``False``.
- **max_power** (*Optional*, float): Only for float outputs. Sets the
  maximum output value of this output platform. Each value will be
  multiplied by this. Must be in range from 0 to 1. Defaults to 1.
