The rpi_gpio switch platform allows you to control the GPIOs of your [Raspberry Pi](https://www.raspberrypi.org/).
To use your Raspberry Pi's GPIO in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
switch:
platform: rpi_gpio
ports:
11: Fan Office
12: Light Desk
invert_logic: false
```
Configuration variables:
- **ports** array (*Required*): Array of used ports.
- **port: name** (*Required*): Your username for the Edimax switch.
- **invert_logic** (*Optional*): If true, inverts the output logic to ACTIVE LOW. Default is false (ACTIVE HIGH).
For more details about the GPIO layout, visit the Wikipedia [article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi#GPIO_connector) about the Raspberry Pi.

If you are not running Raspbian Jessie, you will need to run Home Assistant as root.
