F8 on device physical switches in ESPHome - Vinceken - 03-14-2026
Hi - with esp-idf in ESPHome, how can I access the state of the physical on device switches?
I can't seem to observe those on any GPIO pins.
I would like to configure (in esphome) some of them to control their output relay directly, but for others for them to act as momentary switches. I can manage all the coding myself if I can work out where to observe their state...
Thanks.

the switch on the box works without any software and firmware, it's physical, it used in emergency situations, even if controller is broken.
if you want use switch panel , you should connect to digital input ports with momentary switch, that will feedback relay state.
