Switch

The "Switch" widget allows one or more devices to be switched between two states.

When should this widget be used?

Switches should be used when you want to switch an asset exclusively between two states (e.g. "On" and "Off"). A common use case is lamps.

However, if you want to control dimmable lamps, use the widget -> Lamp control.
