The `rest` binary sensor platform is consuming a given endpoint which is exposed by a [RESTful API](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_state_transfer) of a device, an application, or a web service. The binary sensor has support for GET and POST requests.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To enable this sensor, add the following lines to your `configuration.yaml` file for a GET request:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```yaml
|
||||||
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
||||||
|
sensor:
|
||||||
|
platform: rest
|
||||||
|
resource: http://IP_ADDRESS/ENDPOINT
|
||||||
|
method: GET
|
||||||
|
name: REST GET binary sensor
|
||||||
|
value_template: '{% raw %}{{ value_json.state }}{% endraw %}'
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
or for a POST request:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```yaml
|
||||||
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
||||||
|
sensor:
|
||||||
|
platform: rest
|
||||||
|
resource: http://IP_ADDRESS/ENDPOINT
|
||||||
|
method: POST
|
||||||
|
value_template: '{% raw %}{{ value_json.state }}{% endraw %}'
|
||||||
|
payload: '{ "device" : "door" }'
|
||||||
|
name: REST POST binary sensor
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Configuration variables:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- **resource** (*Required*): The resource or endpoint that contains the value.
|
||||||
|
- **method** (*Optional*): The method of the request. Default is GET.
|
||||||
|
- **value_template** (*Optional*): Defines a [template](/getting-started/templating/) to extract the value.
|
||||||
|
- **payload** (*Optional*): The payload to send with a POST request. Usualy formed as a dictionary.
|
||||||
|
- **name** (*Optional*): Name of the REST binary sensor.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p class='note warning'>
|
||||||
|
Make sure that the URL matches exactly your endpoint or resource.
