Home Assistant Proxy Platform

This custom platform currently allows any switch-like entity to be converted to a light.

With this configuration entry:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
light:
  - platform: proxy
    name: Kitchen Lights
    entity_id: switch.kitchen_lights_as_switch

you can for example proxy the switch.kitchen_lights_as_switch to be light.kitchen_lights.

Configuration variables:

• name: (Optional) The name of the new light.
• entity_id: (Optional) The entity id of the switch that should be copied.

Installation

This is a custom component, to install it simply copy the proxy.py file to <config_dir>/custom_components/light/proxy.py.

(If several users want this and I have some time, I might do the same for other entity mappings.)
