The `arduino` switch platform allows you to control the digital pins of your [Arduino](https://www.arduino.cc/) board. Support for switching pins is limited to high/on and low/off of the digital pins. PWM (pin 3,5,6,9,10, and 11 on an Arduino Uno) is not supported yet.
|
|
|
|
To enable the Arduino pins with Home Assistant, add the following section to your `configuration.yaml` file:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
|
switch:
|
|
platform: arduino
|
|
pins:
|
|
11:
|
|
name: Fan Office
|
|
type: digital
|
|
12:
|
|
name: Light Desk
|
|
type: digital
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Configuration variables:
|
|
|
|
- **pins** (*Required*): Array of pins to use. The number corresponds with the pin numbering schema of your board.
|
|
- **name**: Name that will be used in the frontend for the pin.
|
|
- **type**: The type of the pin. At the moment only 'digital' is supported.
|
|
|
|
The digital pins are numbered from 0 to 13. The available pins are 2 till 13. For testing purposes you can use pin 13 because with that pin you can control the internal LED.
