-Any of the lines of output from the [apcaccess](http://linux.die.net/man/8/apcaccess) command can be used as a sensor device in Home Assistant. In order to create a sensor for a value, create an entity within a `sensor` section of your configuration. The following parameters may be used:
+The `apcupsd` sensor platform to allow you to monitor a UPS (battery backup) by using data from the [apcaccess](http://linux.die.net/man/8/apcaccess) command.
 
-- **name** (*Required*): The name you'd like to give the sensor in Home Assistant.
-- **platform** (*Required*): Set to `apcupsd`.
-- **type** (*Required*): The label for the value you'd like to track based on the output of `apcaccess`. Refer to the examples for ideas.
+To add this platform to your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
+
+```yaml
+# Example configuration.yaml entry
+sensor:
+  - platform: apcupsd
