+
+The URL for a binary sensor looks like the example below:
+
+```bash
+http://IP_ADDRESS:8123/api/states/binary_sensor.DEVICE_NAME
+```
+
+<p class='note'>
+You should choose a unique device name (DEVICE_NAME) to avoid clashes with other devices.
+</p>
+
+The JSON payload must contain the new state and can have a friendly name. The friendly name is used in the frontend to name the sensor.
+
+```json
+{"state": "on", "attributes": {"friendly_name": "Radio"}}
+```
+
+For a quick test `curl` can be useful to "simulate" a device.
+
+```bash
+$ curl -X POST -H "x-ha-access: YOUR_PASSWORD" \
+    -d '{"state": "off", "attributes": {"friendly_name": "Radio"}}' \
+    http://localhost:8123/api/states/binary_sensor.radio
+```
+
+To check if the sensor is working, use again `curl` to retrieve the [current state](/developers/rest_api/#get-apistatesltentity_id).
+
+```bash
+$ curl -X GET -H "x-ha-access: YOUR_PASSWORD" \
+        http://localhost:8123/api/states/binary_sensor.radio
+{
+    "attributes": {
+        "friendly_name": "Radio"
+    },
+    "entity_id": "binary_sensor.radio",
+    "last_changed": "16:45:51 05-02-2016",
+    "last_updated": "16:45:51 05-02-2016",
+    "state": "off"
+}
+```
+
+## {% linkable_title Examples %}
+
+In this section you find some real life examples of how to use this sensor. Beside `curl`.
+
+### {% linkable_title Using Python request module %}
+
+As already shown on the [API](/developers/rest_api/) page, it's very simple to use Python and the [Requests](http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/) module for the interaction with Home Assistant.
+
+```python
+response = requests.post(
+        'http://localhost:8123/api/states/binary_sensor.radio',
+        headers={'x-ha-access': 'YOUR_PASSWORD', 'content-type': 'application/json'},
+        data=json.dumps({'state': 'on', 'attributes': {'friendly_name': 'Radio'}}))
+print(response.text)
+```
+
+### {% linkable_title Using `httpie` %}
+
+[`httpie`](https://github.com/jkbrzt/httpie) is a user-friendly CLI HTTP client.
+
+```bash
+$ http -v POST http://localhost:8123/api/states/binary_sensor.radio \
+      x-ha-access:YOUR_PASSWORD state=off \
+      attributes:='{"friendly_name": "Radio"}'
+```

+The MQTT notification support is different than the other [notification](/components/notify/) platforms. It is a service. This means that you don't have to create a configuration entry but you need to provide more details while calling the service.
+
+**Call Service** section from the **Developer Tools** allows you to send MQTT messages. Choose *mqtt/publish*  from the list of **Available services:** and enter something like the sample below into the **Service Data** field and hit **CALL SERVICE**.
+
+```json
+{"payload": "Test message from HA", "topic": "home/notification", "qos": 0, "retain": 0}
+```
+
+<p class='img'>

+</p>
+
+Using the [REST API](/developers/rest_api/#post-apiservicesltdomainltservice) to send a message to a given topic.
+
+```bash
+$ curl -X POST -H "x-ha-access: YOUR_PASSWORD" \
+       -d '{"payload": "Test message from HA", "topic": "home/notification"}' \
+       http://IP_ADDRESS:8123/api/services/mqtt/publish
+```
