Overview
The Round Rocker Switch 6A 250V 3 PIN RED LED is a type of momentary switch designed for use in IoT applications, offering a convenient and intuitive way to control devices. This switch features a red LED indicator, making it easy to visualize the switch's status.
Pin Description
The Round Rocker Switch has three pins, which are explained below:
1. Pin 1: Input/Positive ( VIN )
Function: This pin is connected to the positive terminal of the power source.
Description: Apply the positive voltage ( VIN ) to this pin to power the switch and LED.
Typical Connection: Connect to VCC or the positive terminal of the power source (e.g., a battery or a voltage regulator).
2. Pin 2: Output/Switch ( SW )
Function: This pin is the output of the switch, which is connected to the load or the device being controlled.
Description: When the switch is pressed, this pin is connected to Pin 1 ( VIN ), allowing the load to receive power. When the switch is released, this pin is disconnected from Pin 1.
Typical Connection: Connect to the load or the device being controlled (e.g., a relay, a solenoid, or an LED).
3. Pin 3: Ground/Negative ( GND )
Function: This pin is connected to the negative terminal of the power source.
Description: This pin is used to complete the circuit and provide a return path for the current.
Typical Connection: Connect to GND or the negative terminal of the power source (e.g., a battery or a voltage regulator).
Connection Structure
Here is a general connection structure for the Round Rocker Switch 6A 250V 3 PIN RED LED:
Power Source
+ Positive Terminal Pin 1 ( VIN )
+ Negative Terminal Pin 3 ( GND )
Load/Device Being Controlled
+ Input Terminal Pin 2 ( SW )
Switch LED Indicator
+ The red LED is internally connected to Pin 1 ( VIN ) and Pin 3 ( GND ), and will illuminate when the switch is pressed and the circuit is complete.
Important Notes
Ensure the switch is rated for the voltage and current of your application (6A 250V in this case).
Use a suitable power source and wiring to handle the maximum current rating of the switch.
Verify the switch is properly connected to the load and power source to avoid damage or electrical shock.
By following this documentation, you should be able to properly connect and utilize the Round Rocker Switch 6A 250V 3 PIN RED LED in your IoT application.

Code Examples

### Example 1: Basic Switching with Arduino

In this example, we'll use the Round Rocker Switch 6A 250V 3 PIN RED LED to control an LED connected to an Arduino board.

Hardware Requirements:

Arduino Board (e.g. Arduino Uno)
 Round Rocker Switch 6A 250V 3 PIN RED LED
 LED
 Breadboard
 Jumper wires

Software Requirements:

Arduino IDE

Code:
```c
const int switchPin = 2;  // Pin 2 of the Arduino board
const int ledPin = 13;   // Pin 13 of the Arduino board

void setup() {
  pinMode(switchPin, INPUT);
  pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  int switchState = digitalRead(switchPin);
  if (switchState == HIGH) {
    digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);
  } else {
    digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);
  }
}
```
In this example, we connect the switch to digital pin 2 of the Arduino board, and an LED to digital pin 13. The `loop()` function reads the state of the switch and sets the LED accordingly.

### Example 2: Home Automation with ESP32 and MQTT

In this example, we'll use the Round Rocker Switch 6A 250V 3 PIN RED LED to control a relay connected to an ESP32 board, which publishes the switch state to an MQTT broker.

Hardware Requirements:

ESP32 Board
 Round Rocker Switch 6A 250V 3 PIN RED LED
 Relay module (e.g. SRD-05VDC-SL-C)
 Breadboard
 Jumper wires

Software Requirements:

ESP32 Arduino Core
 PubSubClient library

Code:
```cpp
#include <WiFi.h>
#include <PubSubClient.h>

const char ssid = "your_wifi_ssid";
const char password = "your_wifi_password";
const char mqttServer = "your_mqtt_broker_ip";
const char mqttTopic = "home/automation/switch";

WiFiClient espClient;
PubSubClient client(espClient);

const int switchPin = 32;  // Pin 32 of the ESP32 board
const int relayPin = 33;  // Pin 33 of the ESP32 board

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
  WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
  while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
    delay(1000);
    Serial.println("Connecting to WiFi...");
  }
  Serial.println("Connected to WiFi");
  client.setServer(mqttServer, 1883);
}

void loop() {
  int switchState = digitalRead(switchPin);
  if (switchState == HIGH) {
    digitalWrite(relayPin, HIGH);
    client.publish(mqttTopic, "ON");
  } else {
    digitalWrite(relayPin, LOW);
    client.publish(mqttTopic, "OFF");
  }
  delay(50);
}
```
In this example, we connect the switch to digital pin 32 of the ESP32 board, and a relay module to digital pin 33. The `loop()` function reads the state of the switch, sets the relay accordingly, and publishes the switch state to an MQTT broker using the PubSubClient library.

Note: Make sure to modify the code to match your specific hardware and software setup. Additionally, always follow proper safety precautions when working with electrical components.
