To use your myStrom WiFi Button in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
### {% linkable_title Setup of myStrom Buttons %}
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
binary_sensor:
- platform: mystrom
You need to configure every button to make it work with Home Assistant. First connect the Wifi Buttons to your wireless network. Once a button is connected you have three minutes to set the actions for the push patterns if the button is not charging. The fastest way is to use `curl`. Check the [documentation](https://mystrom.ch/wp-content/uploads/REST_API_WBP.txt) of the WiFi Button for further details about the implementation (`http://` is replaced by `get://` or `post://`). `action` is the name of the corresponding push pattern (see above).
The endpoint that is receiving the data is `http://[IP address Home Assistant]:8123/api/mystrom`. If you have set an [`api_password`](/components/http/) then this needs to be included in the URL.
With `api_password:`
```
$ curl -d "[action]=get://[IP address Home Assistant]:8123/api/mystrom?api_password%3D[api_password]%26[action]%3D[ID of the button]" \
http://[IP address of the button]/api/v1/device/[MAC address of the button]

The command-line tool [`mystrom`](https://github.com/fabaff/python-mystrom) is a helper to configure myStrom buttons.
If you have set [`login_attempts_threshold`](/components/http/) and forget to include the `api_password` for an action and that action is triggered then after the threshold is reached will the button no longer work because it is banned. See [IP filtering and banning](/components/http/#ip-filtering-and-banning) about how to revert the banning.
## {% linkable_title Configuration %}
To use your myStrom WiFi Button in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
binary_sensor:
- platform: mystrom
```
<p class='note'>
The firmware version 2.26 doesn't support TLS/SSL. This means that you are only able to use the WiFi Buttons if you are using plain-text communication between Home Assistant and the clients/entities.
The firmware version 2.56 doesn't support TLS/SSL. This means that you are only able to use the WiFi Buttons if you are using plain-text communication between Home Assistant and the clients/entities.
