The `bbb_gpio` switch platform allows you to control the GPIOs of your [BeagleBone Black](https://beagleboard.org/black).
To use yourBeagleBone Black's GPIO in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
switch:
- platform: bbb_gpio
pins:
GPIO0_7:
name: LED Red
P9_12:
name: LED Green
initial: true
invert_logic: true
```
Configuration variables:
- **pins** array (*Required*): Array of used ports.
- **pin_name** (*Required*): Port numbers and corresponding names.
- **name** (*Optional*): Friendly name to use for the frontend.
- **initial** (*Optional*): Initial state of the pin. Defaults to `False`.
- **invert_logic** (*Optional*): If true, inverts the output logic to ACTIVE LOW. Default is `false` (ACTIVE HIGH).
