# Home Assistant Switch

Source: https://docs.evcc.io/en/smartswitches/home-assistant-switch

Home Assistant instances in your network will be auto-discovered and suitable entities (e.g. `switch.*`, `sensor.*`) will be suggested.

## Parameters

| Name | Description | Default / example | |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| uri | Home Assistant URI | http://homeassistant.local:8123 |  |
| switch | Entity ID of the switch device | switch.smartsocket |  |
| power | Entity ID for power measurement | sensor.smartsocket_power |  |
| standbypower | Standby power Power values above this value will be considered as charging power and hence status "charging". Negative values deactivate status detection. | 15 W |  |
| insecure | Accept self-signed certificates |  | advanced |
| temp | Entity ID for temperature measurement Heating devices only | sensor.heatpump_temperature | advanced |
| limittemp | Entity ID for temperature limit Limit configured in the device, heating devices only | sensor.heatpump_target_temperature | advanced |
| integrateddevice | Integrated device Integrated device. No charging sessions |  | advanced |
| heating | Heating device Shows °C instead of % |  | advanced |
| icon | Icon Will be displayed in the user interface (car, bike, bus, moped, motorcycle, rocket, scooter, taxi, tractor, rickshaw, shuttle, van, airpurifier, battery, bulb, climate, coffeemaker, compute, cooking, cooler, desktop, device, dishwasher, dryer, floorlamp, generic, heater, heatexchange, heatpump, kettle, laundry, laundry2, machine, meter, microwave, pump, smartconsumer, tool, waterheater) |  | advanced |
