Is there a way to make a device that’s coming up as a light a switch? Because it’s actually a switch. Or template a switch that will turn the light on and off?
The switch is currently “light.mainroomhumidifier” but it needs to be “switch.mainroomhumidifier”
Create a template switch.
Like this:
switch:
- platform: template
switches:
kingsley_games_room_camera_power:
value_template: "{{ is_state('light.kingsley_games_room_camera_power', 'on') }}"
turn_on:
service: light.turn_on
target:
entity_id: light.kingsley_games_room_camera_power
turn_off:
service: light.turn_off
target:
entity_id: light.kingsley_games_room_camera_power
can i do that if i also have template sensors?
it told me a switch was an invalid option for template
Check your indentation. What have you got?
Yes, this will be in a different section of code.
Sorry I shoved it into templates I misunderstood what I was doing. Thanks
