ok, i have 3 toggle helpers for each switch device, to be controlled with the dashboard/app, and 3 binary input physical switches in my shop (ESPhome inputs). and i want to control 3 switch devices (all separate 3-way switch configuration).
for example, when either a binary-input physical switch is changed, or a toggle-helper device is changed, if the switches match, then turn off the associated switch device. if they do not match, turn on the switch device.
what would be the bast way to go about this? i can do it with a lot of separate automation configs for each state, but i want something a little cleaner, and easier to maintain.
so to summarize, one toggle-helper, one physical switch, control one switch device. with 3 total automations needed (all same, with different devices).
figured out a different way to do it. crude, but will work.
using the SPDT relay outputs to drive a wired 3-way switch circuit, and a return line to sense output state, before driving a SSR. like i said, crude, but will work if the HA server connection goes down.
