In YAML files tabs are very important, always check indentation
Prerequisites:
In your Esphome config find the following (or any out_XY you’d like to change): In this example we’d change Light02 to Switch02.
light:
- platform: binary
name: 'Light 01'
output: out_01
id: light_01
- platform: binary
name: 'Light 02'
output: out_02
id: light_02
Remove this section:
- platform: binary
name: 'Light 02'
output: out_02
id: light_02
Now add switch section to your config (in the bottom for example):
switch:
Under switch section add output:
- platform: output
name: 'Switch 02'
output: out_02
id: switch_02
In the end it would look like:
switch:
- platform: output
name: 'Switch 02'
output: out_02
id: switch_02
Now config propably won’t compile as input would try to switch Light02. Let’s change it.
Find Input which toggles your light:
- platform: gpio
name: 'IN_02'
id: in_02
pin:
pcf8574: pcf_inputs_1to14
number: 1
mode:
input: true
inverted: true
on_press:
then:
- light.toggle: light_02
Either remove lines:
on_press:
then:
- light.toggle: light_02
or change them to toggle switch:
on_press:
then:
- switch.toggle: light_02
In your Esphome config find the following (or any out_XY you’d like to change): In this example we’d change Switch02 to Light02 .
switch:
- platform: output
name: 'Switch 01'
output: out_01
id: switch_01
- platform: output
name: 'Switch 02'
output: out_02
id: switch_02
Remove this section:
- platform: output
name: 'Switch 02'
output: out_02
id: switch_02
Now add lights section to your config (in the bottom for example):
light:
Under light section add output:
- platform: binary
name: 'Light 02'
output: out_02
id: light_02
In the end it would look like:
light:
- platform: binary
name: 'Light 02'
output: out_02
id: light_02
Now config propably won’t compile as input would try to switch Switch02. Let’s change it.
Find Input which toggles your switch:
- platform: gpio
name: 'IN_02'
id: in_02
pin:
pcf8574: pcf_inputs_1to14
number: 1
mode:
input: true
inverted: true
on_press:
then:
- switch.toggle: switch_02
Either remove lines:
on_press:
then:
- switch.toggle: switch_02
or change them to toggle light:
on_press:
then:
- light.toggle: light_02
