  1. Start HA. Pycrypto should install automatically. If not, install pycrypto manually. if you are using virtual environment, remember to install from virtual environment like below
(homeassistant_venv) pi@raspberrypi:~ $ pip3 install pycrypto
  1. Add friendly names to the Configuration.yaml like below
  customize:
    binary_sensor.switch_158d000xxxxxc3:
        friendly_name: Ktichen Switch
    binary_sensor.switch_158d000xxxxxc2:
        friendly_name: Table Switch
    binary_sensor.door_window_sensor_158d000xxxxx7a:

- alias: Turn on Dining Light when click
  trigger:
    platform: event
    event_type: click
    event_data:
        entity_id: binary_sensor.switch_158d000xxxxxc2
        click_type: single
  action:
    service: switch.toggle
    entity_id: switch.wall_switch_left_158d000xxxxx01
  #trigger for motion sensor using State
  
  trigger:
    platform: state
