Hi, How can i configure esp32 light switch to work in detached mode when it has connection t home assistant and when it lose the connection to switch into relay control mode?

[image] evlo: work in detached mode when it has connection t home assistant It’s easy by just doing something like this: binary_sensor: - platform: gpio # ... on_state: then: - if: condition: api.connected: then: - l…

ooooo that looks way to easy, btw do you use orangePi for the home devices?

hi, do you mind sharing your config for detached mode with the relay?

That depends on the devices, gpio etc. will be different

Sorry, probably should’ve rephrased my question Let’s say it reconnects back to wifi, but the last actual relay status was off. How do i have the relay turn back on? Do i just toggle it back on in HA Also, if i toggle the relay in HA, can I have it send on/off commands to the lights instead of tog…

As for relay I do not think so, in esphome it is just GPIO output, but you can create template switch. You can do “interval” in esphome and do some action when there is no connection to api. Just an idea, don’t know exactly how that would work. Basically: binary sensor switch - ?can connect to api…

I wonder if it would be possi le to do espnow to control the bulbs while still keeping connection to HA? [image] GitHub - iphong/esphome-espnow: Direct communication between esp devices... Direct communication between esp devices without home assistant - GitHub - iphong/esphome-espnow: …

I have a template number on my Shellys running esphome. Flicking the switch cycles the input number. Each bulb is also esphome and has it’s own input number. When the input number on the switch changes, it updates all the bulbs in it’s settings. If the network is down, it just acts like a normal swi…
