Currently, I’m using two switches in my config file:
switch:
- platform: broadlink
host: 192.168.178.109
mac: 'XXXXXXXXXXXX'
switches:
onkyo:
friendly_name: "Onkyo Verstärker"
command_on: 'JgBYAAABJZQTEhI4EhISExI4EhISOBM3EhISExI4EjcTEhM3EjcSExM3EjcSExI4EhISExM3EjcSExITEjcSExM3EjgSEhITEgAFHAABJUsTAAxJAAElTBIADQU='
command_off: 'JgBYAAABJZQTEhI4EhISExI4EhISOBM3EhISExI4EjcTEhM3EjcSExM3EjcSExI4EhISExM3EjcSExITEjcSExM3EjgSEhITEgAFHAABJUsTAAxJAAElTBIADQU='
- platform: template
switches:
acer_projektor:
friendly_name: "Acer Projektor"
value_template: true
turn_on:
service: script.acer_beamer_ein
turn_off:
service: script.acer_beamer_aus
This results in this UI:
Since the Broadlink IR Remote cannot determine, if the device is on or off, it does not show a real switch but two flash buttons instead for the Onkyo device. This is great.
For my other self defined device, the Acer, a usual switch appears. But in my case, I cannot find out, if the device is on or off as well. Thatswhy I just setted the value to “true”. How can I force home assistant, to show the two flash icons for the acer device instead of the switch?
Thanks,
Stefan
