Binary Light With Power Component

Overview

This an enhanced version of the standard binary light component that adds an option to include a sensor to report current power usage based on a configured wattage of the light(s) it controls.

Setup

Using the External Components feature in ESPHome you can add this component to your devices directly from my GitHub repo.

external_components:
  - source: github://nuttytree/ESPHome-Devices
    components: [ binary_light_with_power ]

Like the standard binary light component you need to have an output.

output:
  - platform: gpio
    id: my_light_output
    pin: 13

Add and configure the Binary Light With Power Component

light:
  - platform: binary_light_with_power
    id: my_light
    name: My Light
    output: my_light_output
    power:
      id: my_light_power
      name: My Light Power
      light_wattage: 48.0
      update_interval: 60s
