ESPHome - Can not control relay

Currently I’m configuring a relais that will open for half a second, and closes afterwards.

This is my config:

Packagelock open/close

switch:

  • platform: gpio
    pin: GPIO12 #D6
    inverted: True
    restore_mode: RESTORE_DEFAULT_OFF
    id: relay
    name: “Package lock”
    icon: “mdi:gate”
    on_turn_on:
    • delay: 500ms
    • switch.turn_off: relay

D6 will however always be in an ON state, switching is not possible.
What am I doing wrong here?
Using a NodeMCU

EDIT: I tried a different pin which was off by default. When changing to this pin, after uploading the config, this pin is also in an always ON state, so it must be due to a flaw in my config.
Also tried:

  • Inverted: False
  • Removing: restore_mode: RESTORE_DEFAULT_OFF
  • Removing inverted alltogether.

Fixed!

Used the VIN pin to pull 5V.
Attached it to a 3.3V and it works now!
