Hey everyone, I’m thrilled to share my recent experience integrating the Gosund SW1 switches with ESPHome. After some research, I decided to go with the Gosund SW1 switches for their sleek design and compatibility with the Tuya Convert protocol. The setup process was smooth, and I managed to integrate all four switches into my Home Assistant ecosystem without a hitch. Here’s a quick rundown of my configuration:
yaml
esphome:
name: guest_room_switch
platform: ESP8266
board: esp01_1m
wifi:
ssid: !secret wifi_ssid
password: !secret wifi_password
api:
password: !secret api_password
ota:
password: !secret ota_password
binary_sensor:
- platform: gpio
name: “Guest Room Switch Button”
pin: GPIO00
mode: INPUT_PULLUP
inverted: True
on_press:- switch.toggle: relay
switch:
- platform: gpio
name: “Guest Room Switch Relay”
id: relay
pin: GPIO14
sensor:
- platform: wifi_signal
name: “Guest Room Switch WiFi signal”
update_interval: 60s - platform: uptime
name: “Guest Room Switch uptime”
text_sensor:
- platform: version
name: “Guest Room Switch ESPHome version”
One thing I noticed was the status LED staying on continuously, which was a bit distracting. After some digging, I realized that the status_led is designed to indicate issues, so I adjusted the configuration to turn it off when the lights are off. This tweak made the setup even more seamless!
I’d love to hear if anyone else has tips or experiences with similar setups. It’s amazing how these little tweaks can make such a big difference in the overall smart home experience. Huge thanks to the community for all the resources and support!
Best regards,
Chris
