Hi All

New to home assistant.
So if I want to have a rule set, and say, I want to be able to browse to the HA website and set a switch state that indicates I am on vacation for the next week, and then have my automation do something different.
What is the right way to create a switch for this?

All i want to do is be able to set its state from the webpage.
I guess i could use a bogus Command Line Switch, or Rasppi IO, but that seems silly.

Is there a switch that is nothing more than a state that can be set from the webpage?
