 The `rest` switch platform allows you to control a given endpoint that supports a [RESTful API](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_state_transfer). The switch can get the state via GET and set the state via POST on a given REST resource.
 
 To enable this switch, add the following lines to your `configuration.yaml` file:

 `body_on` and `body_off` can also depend on the state of the system. For example, to enable a remote temperature sensor tracking on a radio thermostat, one has to send the current value of the remote temperature sensor. This can be achieved by using the template `{% raw %}'{"rem_temp":{{states.sensor.bedroom_temp.state}}}'{% endraw %}`.
