 homeassistant.components.thermostat.radiotherm
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 Adds support for Radio Thermostat wifi-enabled home thermostats
+
+Config:
+thermostat:
+    platform: radiotherm
+    hold_temp: boolean to control if hass temp adjustments hold(True) or are
+    temporary(False)
+    host: list of thermostat host/ips to control
+
+Example:
+thermostat:
+    platform: radiotherm
+    hold_temp: True
+    host:
+        - 192.168.99.137
+        - 192.168.99.202
+
+Configure two thermostats via the configuration.yaml.  Temperature settings
+sent from hass will be sent to thermostat and then hold at that temp.  Set
+to False if you set a thermostat schedule on the tstat itself and just want
+hass to send temporary temp changes.
