Hello guys,
To better understand how Home Assistant work, I’d like to create an Entity, which is just an On/Off switch that I can control from the UI. So, it’s not a real device, but actually a UI control. If the switch is turned on, it sends a turn-on signal to Home Assistant. I want to have a another UI view that listens for the switch change to make a lamp on or off, or send an email or whatever.
So first, I want simply create a UI control with a on/off switch.
Second, another view that listens to the on/off switch.
How can I achieve that?
What I know until now is that I can add a switch in Configuration.yaml something like this:
switch:
platform: view_control
entity id: switch.view.manual.control
…
But I guess it’s too naive to think like that.
I hope you can help.
