+
+The `snmp` switch platform allows you to control SNMP-enabled equipment.
+
+Currently, only SNMP OIDs that accept integer values are supported. SNMP v1 and v2c are supported. SNMP v3 is **not** supported.
+
+To use an SNMP switch in your installation:
+
+```yaml
+# Example configuration.yaml entry:
+switch:
+  - platform: snmp
+    host: 192.168.0.2
+    baseoid: 1.3.6.1.4.1.19865.1.2.1.4.0
+```
+
+Configuration variables:
+
+- **baseoid** (*Required*): The SNMP BaseOID which to poll for the state of the switch and which to set in order to turn the switch on and off.
+- **host** (*Optional*): The IP/host which to control. Defaults to `localhost`.
+- **port** (*Optional*): The port on which to communicate. Defaults to `161`.
+- **community** (*Optional*): community string to use for authentication. Defaults to `private`.
+- **version** (*Optional*): SNMP version to use - either `1` or `2c`. Defaults to `1`.
+- **payload_on** (*Optional*): What return value represents an `On` state for the switch. The same value is used in writes to turn on the switch. Defaults to `1`.
+- **payload_off** (*Optional*): What return value represents an `Off` state for the switch. The same value is used in writes to turn off the switch. Defaults to `0`.
+
+You should check with your device's vendor to find out the correct BaseOID and what values turn the switch on and off.
+
+A complete example:
+
+```yaml
+switch:
+  - platform: snmp
+    name: SNMP switch
+    host: 192.168.0.2
+    community: private
+    baseoid: 1.3.6.1.4.1.19865.1.2.1.4.0
+    payload_on: 1
+    payload_off: 0
+```
