The rpi_gpio switch platform allows you to control the GPIOs of your Raspberry Pi.

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
  invert_logic: false

Configuration variables:

• ports array (Required): Array of used ports.
  • port: name (Required): Port numbers and corresponding names.
• invert_logic (Optional): If true, inverts the output logic to ACTIVE LOW. Default is false (ACTIVE HIGH).

For more details about the GPIO layout, visit the Wikipedia article about the Raspberry Pi.

If you are not running Raspbian Jessie, you will need to run Home Assistant as root.
