SOLVED: Trying to define one of the outputs of a SHP7 (dual socket) as a light

ESPHome

I have this working as two switches, but I’m trying redefine one of the outputs as a light instead of a switch.

I’ve built this:

substitutions:
  device_name: serverroompower
  # Higher value gives lower watt readout
  current_res: '0.002291'
  # Lower value gives lower voltage readout
  voltage_div: '940'

esphome:
  name: '${device_name}'
  platform: ESP8266
  board: esp8285
  on_boot:
    then:
      - switch.turn_on: relay1
#      - switch.turn_on: relay2
      
wifi:
  ssid: !secret wifissid
  password: !secret wifipw
#  reboot_timeout: 60min
  manual_ip:
    static_ip: 10.11.13.43
    gateway: 10.11.13.1
    subnet: 255.255.255.0
#  use_address: 10.11.12.201
  fast_connect: true
  # Enable fallback hotspot (captive portal) in case wifi connection fails
  ap:
    ssid: "${device_name} Hotspot"
    password: !secret appw

But I get an error:

ID ‘relay2’ of type esp8266_pwm: :ESP8266PWM doesn’t inherit from light::LightState. Please double check your ID is pinting to the correct value.

I don’t understand how to solve that?

The id relay2 refers to the pwm pin defined here, not the light entity you want.

  - platform: esp8266_pwm
    id: relay2
    pin: GPIO16

Change the id by appending _pin:

output:
  - platform: esp8266_pwm
    id: relay2_pin
    pin: GPIO16

light:
  - platform: binary
    name: "Freezerlight"
    output: relay2_pin
    id: relay2

I actualy got it fixed, but had to go to 1.16.0-dev
Here is 1 output set up as a switch and the other is set up as a light (it’s a dualoutput plug).

substitutions:
  device_name: serverroompower
  # Higher value gives lower watt readout
  current_res: '0.002291'
  # Lower value gives lower voltage readout
  voltage_div: '940'
  # BW-SHP7, dual outlet with powermonitoring.
  # One button for each relay, and one red led for each relay, as well as a blue status led
  # Static IP is configured, and fast_connect is enabled, as the SSID is hidden
  # Webserver is active and pw protected, and the OTA is password protected
