To enable this sensor, you first have to set up [gc100](/components/gc100/), and add the following lines to your `configuration.yaml` file:

```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
binary_sensor:
  - platform: gc100
    ports:
      - '3:1': Doorchime
      - '3:2': Garage Obstruction
```

{% configuration %}
ports:
  description: >
    A list of module-address to name mappings in the format `'x:y': name`,
    where x is module #, y is address.
  required: true
  type: list
{% endconfiguration %}
