The ads switch platform accesses a boolean variable on the connected ADS device. The variable is identified by its name.

To use your ADS device, you first have to set up your ADS hub and then add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
switch:
  - platform: ads
    adsvar: .global_bool

{% configuration %} adsvar: required: true description: The name of the variable which you want to access on the ADS device. type: string name: required: false description: An identifier for the switch in the frontend. type: string {% endconfiguration %}
