-port
-*Required
-The port where is your board connected to your Home Assistant system.
-If you are using an original Arduino the port will be named ttyACM*. The exact
-number can be determined with 'ls /dev/ttyACM*' or check your 'dmesg'/
-'journalctl -f' output. Keep in mind that Arduino clones are often using a
-different name for the port (e.g. '/dev/ttyUSB*').
-
-A word of caution: The Arduino is not storing states. This means that with
-every initialization the pins are set to off/low.
