Hi there
I’m learning how to use Home Assistant. As a first idea I want to automate the Arduino switch based on the random sensor. To test my setup, I installed some LEDs as my ‘lights’.
The switch works when I use the gui (I can turn the LED on and off). The automation, however, is not working. I could not find an example of such an automation of an Arduino switch. I adapted the example automation that creates a notification if the random sensor is above 10. I get the notification, so automation works, but the LED (‘pin 8, Fan Office’) is not flashing.
Here are (parts of) my .yaml files:
my automation:
trigger:
platform: numeric_state
entity_id: sensor.random_sensor
above: 10
action:
service: switch.turn_on
entity_id: switch.arduino
part of configuration.yaml:
platform: arduino
pins:
8:
name: Fan Office
12:
name: Light Desk
initial: true
negate: true
group: !include groups.yaml
automation: !include_dir_list automation
script: !include scripts.yaml
I assume I set the entity ID wrong in the automation, but what’s the correct way?
Thanks for any help!
