The Switch as X integrations lets you convert any Home Assistant switch into
|
||||
a Home Assistant Light, Cover, Fan, Lock, or Siren.

|

In Home Assistant’s world, a wall plug is a switch. And while that is correct
|
||||
for a wall plug in general, those plugs are often used with e.g, a light
|
||||
fixture or a fan. General-purpose relays are similar, as they are sometimes
|
||||
used for things like locks or garage doors.
|
||||
for a wallplug in general, those plugs (or relays) are often used with a light
|
||||
fixture, a fan, garage door, or maybe your Christmas tree lights. 🎄
|
||||
|
||||
Using the Switch as X integration, you can convert those switches into
|
||||
the entity types that best matches your use case.
|
||||
|
||||
The newly created entity will appear in your original device.
|
||||
This release introduces the “Switch as X” helper, which lets you convert any
|
||||
Home Assistant switch into a light, cover, fan, lock, or siren to match your
|
||||
real-world use better.
|
||||
|
||||
Switch as X can be found under {% my helpers title="Configuration > Automations & Scripts > Helpers" %},
|
||||
or click the my button below transform one of your switches right away:
|
||||
but wait! We made it easier: You can also change the switch itself when
|
||||
editing the switch entity:
|
||||
|
||||
<div class='videoWrapper'>
|
||||
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/FLH4SXMAQS4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
|
||||
The video above shows the creating of the new light entity, which uses the
|
||||
original switch. The original switch is now automatically hidden from most of
|
||||
the Home Assistant UI but is still available on this device page
|
||||
|
||||
If you have updated to this release already, click the my button below to
|
||||
transform one of your switches right away:
|
||||
|
||||
{% my config_flow_start badge domain="switch_as_x" %}
