<p>Components that interact with devices are structured in core- and platform logic. This allows the same logic to be used for different platforms.</p>
<p>For example, the built-in <code>switch</code> component consists of the following files in <a href="https://github.com/balloob/home-assistant/tree/master/homeassistant/components/switch"><code>homeassistant/components/switch/</code></a>:</p>
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>File</th>
<th>Description</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>__init__.py</td>
<td>Contains the Switch core logic.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>wemo.py</td>
<td>WeMo platform logic. Included if in config <code>platform=wemo</code>.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>tellstick.py</td>
<td>Tellstick platform logic. Included if in config <code>platform=tellstick</code>.</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>For example, the built-in <code>switch</code> component consists of various platform in <a href="https://github.com/balloob/home-assistant/tree/master/homeassistant/components/switch"><code>homeassistant/components/switch/</code></a>. The file <code>\_\_init\_\_.py</code> contains the core logic of all platform and the <code>vendor_name.py</code> files only the relevant platform code.</p>
<p>If you are planning to add support for a new type of device to an existing component, you can get away with only writing platform logic. Have a look at how the component works with other platforms and create a similar file for the platform that you would like to add.</p>
