I basically need to power on a pin on my ESP32 board for 3 seconds, to activate my garage door remote, thats it, but the switch entity is not begin detected.
Note there is a better way to do this. Delete the switch and script and use a button instead.
output:
- platform: gpio # Internal to the ESP
pin: 22
id: garage_door_button
button:
- platform: output # Shared with HA.
name: "Garage Door"
output: garage_door_button
duration: 3s # does it really need to be pressed this long?
But now I am seeing with the button solution, that pin 22 or “D22” on the board is powered on, not doing anything when I press the button, it should only be powered on if someone presses the button in HA, and also then for 3 seconds.
internal (Optional, boolean): Mark this component as internal. Internal components will not be exposed to the frontend (like Home Assistant). Only specifying an id without a name will implicitly set this to true.
It applies to all & any components, so far I know.
I am currently making a system where I can control my old garage door system, by doing some soldering on my remote and the ESP32 board, and I have got it working so if I power pin 22 on my remote, the door opens.
I am seeing, that pin 22 or “D22” on the board is powered on, not doing anything when I press the button, even tough it should be only powered when the button is pressed and also then for 2 seconds.

You mean pin 22 always providing power (state on) after board is powered on ?
Would be nice to have debug output to see styte changes of button & output.
