Having a problem with the raspberry pi gpio component

Configuration
1

i’m currently having a problem with the raspberry pi gpio component.
i have copied the example code for the configuration.yaml from the component page and pasted it.
when i reboot my raspberry pi and type its ip in my browser the browser says that he cant find the requested page.
so i’m thinking that their is a problem in my configuration file and it wont start home assistant.
hope someone knows how to solve this problem.
b.t.w i’m running home assistant on a raspberry pi 3.

kind regards dylan

Can you post the yaml here using the code blocks as stated above in the blue box. Can you also post the errors if any from the log file.

Impossible to diagnose without at least some information :wink:

Thank you for replying
Here is my log file :

Get rid of the second switch.

Note that the error log says there is a duplicat key switch.

I’m guessing your “switch” is on line 49 and 55 also based on the error log.

ok thank you
so if i would want to use them both could i just put 2 platforms under one switch like this :

switch:
  - platform: fritzdect
    username: Admin
    password: mypassword
  - platform: rpi_gpio
    ports:
      18: Fan Office
      17: Light Desk
