Generic Output Button
=====================

:description: Instructions for setting up generic output buttons in ESPHome that control an output component.
:image: upload.svg
The ``output`` button platform allows you to use any output component as a button. This can for example be used to
momentarily set a GPIO pin using a button.

# Example configuration entry
output:
- platform: gpio
pin: GPIOXX
id: output1
button:
- platform: output
name: "Generic Output"
output: output1
duration: 500ms
Configuration variables:
------------------------
- **output** (**Required**, :ref:`config-id`): The ID of the output component to use.
- **duration** (**Required**, :ref:`config-time`): How long the output should be set when the button is pressed.
- All other options from :ref:`Button <config-button>`.
.. note::
When used with a :doc:`/components/output/gpio`, the pin will be low by default and pulled high when the button is
pressed. To invert this behaviour and have the pin pulled low when the button is pressed, set the `inverted` option
in the :ref:`config-pin_schema`.
