Help setting up YAML for Jinvoo SM-PW712UA 10A Plug

Hi,
I'm fairly new to ESPHome and yaml and I was trying to set up code to run this dual plug. I had it up and running (-ish), but I was running into issues on how to handle the LEDs. It has a single button in the center w/ LED, as well as an LED for each socket. Initially, I had it set up by roughly following the template for another plug, but the LEDs did not reflect the status of the relays. The LEDs were on separate GPIO pins, so I tried creating a template switch, but now, when I turn either relay on within Home Assistant, the state immediately returns to "off", even though the relay is still on. Any further "turn on" from HA has no effect and to turn it off, I have to turn it on and then off before the state changes.

`switch:

• platform: gpio
  id: relay1
  inverted: true
  pin:
  number: GPIO14
• platform: gpio
  id: relay1_led
  inverted: true
  pin:
  number: GPIO3
• platform: template
  name: "${displayname} Relay 1"
  turn_on_action:
  • switch.turn_on:
    id: relay1_led
  • switch.turn_on:
    id: relay1
    turn_off_action:
  • switch.turn_off:
    id: relay1_led
  • switch.turn_off:
    id: relay1
• platform: gpio
  id: relay2
  inverted: true
  pin:
  number: GPIO12
• platform: gpio
  id: relay2_led
  inverted: true
  pin:
  number: GPIO5
• platform: template
  name: "${displayname} Relay 2"
  turn_on_action:
  • switch.turn_on:
    id: relay2_led
  • switch.turn_on:
    id: relay2
    turn_off_action:
  • switch.turn_off:
    id: relay2_led
  • switch.turn_off:
    id: relay2`

It's probably easier to turn the LED on/off when the relay is turned on/off using on_turn_on and on_turn_off on the relay1 and relay2 switches, instead of creating a template switch.

For the template switch you'll need to provide a lambda that returns the current state of the switch.

Thank you! I knew nothing about on_turn_on or on_turn_off. Works very well.
