Config flow with component only option

Development

I’m struggling to figure out how to properly write the config flow for the wake_on_lan component with the switch platform.

Specifically how to write the flow so that the component can be added without any switches. The component exposes a service (send_magic_packet).

I’ve successfully written a flow to just add the component without the switch platform. But once I add the additional steps to setup the platform I get errors when I don’t also configure a switch.

Does anyone know of any other components with a similar flow that I can work from? This is driving me nuts and I’m very close to just making it a custom component with the extra features via yaml.

I think the sun entity in HA core maybe the closest but it does still create an entity. Post your code or a link and maybe people can give you better pointers when they see what you have so far.
