Combined entity?

Configuration
1

I have two switches that I always use together, and was wondering if it’s possible to make a custom entity that is both switches together?

Yes. Use a group and switch the group.

For lights there is a special ‘light group’ that exposes the other attributes as well (brightness, colour, etc…), but as you have switches the standard group is all you need.

Perfect, that’s just what I was looking for. Would control it by:

group.turn_on
group.turn_off

I don’t think those services exist. You would use:

homeassistant.turn_on
and
homeassistant.turn_off

Great, I’ll give it a try. Thanks

If the group only contains switches I’m pretty sure you can use the switch services as well:

switch.turn_on
switch.turn_off

It would be safer to use the homeassistant service though.
