Home Assistant Switch

The homeassistant Switch platform allows you to create Switch that import states and allow control via your Home Assistant instance using the native API.

Note

Although you might not plan to export states from the node and you do not need an entity of the node in Home Assistant, this component still requires you to register the node under Home Assistant. See: Connecting your device to Home Assistant.
