The rpi_gpio switch platform allows you to control the GPIOs of your [Raspberry Pi](https://www.raspberrypi.org/).
To use your Raspberry Pi's GPIO in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
```
# Example configuration.yaml entry
switch:
platform: rpi_gpio
ports:
11: Fan Office
12: Light Desk
```
For more details about the GPIO layout, visit the Wikipedia [article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi#GPIO_connector) about the Raspberry Pi.
<p class='note warning'>
As this requires access to the GPIO, you will need to run Home Assistant as root.
