Building block integration
The remote integration cannot be directly used. You cannot create your own remote entities using this integration. This integration is a building block for other integrations to use, enabling them to create remote entities for you.
Use the services
Go to the Developer Tools, then to Call Service in the frontend, and choose remote/turn_on, remote/turn_off, or remote/toggle from the list of available services (Available services: on the left). Enter something like the sample below into the Service Data field and hit Call Service.
