Pump template

ESPHome
1

I was trying to start my well pump from ESP home. I inserted a start stop switch in home assistant & in hardware added two relays. One is for start & another is for stop as my well pump has a starter.

Now I need help to design a template which will have a single button which clicked will start motor & state should be shown. (ON/OFF). & clicking on same it should get turned off. A current clamp meter will be installed at one phase of pump which can be taken as input in esp wemos d1 mini.

I need a esphome program.

Why don’t you post what yaml you have done so far and show us what you have attempted?

Also have a read of this:

Thanks for pointing in the right direction. I will improve it.

Here is the current program which i have wrote to achieve the turning on & off of the pump.

i had tried the cover template to achieve the last state of pump. but was not quite successful.

now i have a current measuring sensor. i would like to add that sensor & take a state of pump. if current is present then the pump is on else off.

i cant decide hoe should i start is from.

You obviously missed the bit in “how to ask a good question” about formatting posts. Read point 11 and edit your post to enclose your yaml in “Preformatted text” tags. They look like </> on the posting toolbar.
