+
+The `fritzbox_netmonitor` sensor monitors the network statistics exposed by [AVM Fritz!Box](http://avm.de/produkte/fritzbox/) routers.
+
+<p class='note warning'>
+It might be necessary to install additional packages: <code>$ sudo apt-get install libxslt-dev libxml2-dev python3-lxml</code>
+If you are working with the All-in-One installation, you may also need to execute also within your virtual environment the command <code> pip install lxml</code>; be patient this will take a while.</p>
+
+To use the Fritz!Box network monitor in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
+
+```yaml
+# Example configuration.yaml entry
+sensor:
+  - platform: fritzbox_netmonitor
+```
+
+Configuration variables:
+
+- **host** (*Optional*): The IP address of your router, eg. 192.168.1.1. It is optional since every fritzbox is also reachable by using the IP address 169.254.1.1.
+
+The following statistics will be exposed as attributes.
+
+|Attribute         |Description                                                  |
+|:-----------------|:------------------------------------------------------------|
+|is_linked         |True if the FritzBox is physically linked to the provider    |
+|is_connected      |True if the FritzBox has established an internet-connection  |
+|wan_access_type   |Connection-type, can be `DSL` or `Cable`                     |
+|external_ip       |External ip address                                          |
+|uptime            |Uptime in seconds                                            |
+|bytes_sent        |Bytes sent                                                   |
+|bytes_received    |Bytes received                                               |
+|max_byte_rate_up  |Maximum upstream-rate in bytes/s                             |
+|max_byte_rate_down|Maximum downstream-rate in bytes/s                           |
+
+The sensor's state corresponds to the `is_linked` attribute and is either `online`, `offline`, or `unavailable` (in case connection to the router is lost).
