====== virtual switch ======

Create ''toggle'' helper in HA: ''Settings'' --> ''Devices & services'' --> ''Helpers''

Now it is possible to add newly created entity to dashboard.

Usage in AppDaemon:

<file yaml apps.yaml>
heat_pump:
  enabled: true
  weather_automation_enabled_entity: input_boolean.heat_pump_weather_enabled
</file>

<code python>
self._weather_enabled_entity = self.args.get("weather_automation_enabled_entity")

if self.entity_exists(self._weather_enabled_entity):
    state = self.get_state(self._weather_enabled_entity)
        if state == "off":
        self.log(f"Entity '{self._weather_enabled_entity}' is off. Ignoring weather change...")
            return
