+This component can expose regular rest commands as services. Services can be called from a [script] or in [automation].
+
+[script]: /components/script/
+[automation]: /getting-started/automation/
+
+To enable this switch, add the following lines to your `configuration.yaml` file:
+```yaml
+# Example configuration.yaml entry
+# Exposes service rest_command.example_request 
+rest_command:
+  example_request:
+    url: 'http://example.com/'
+```
+
+Configuration variables:
+- **url** (*Required*): URL (support template) for sending request.
+- **method** (*Optional*): HTTP method (get, post, put, delete). Default is get.
+- **payload** (*Optional*): A string/Template to send with request.
+- **username** (*Optional*): username for HTTP authentication
+- **password** (*Optional*): password for HTTP authentication
+- **timeout** (*Optional*): Timeout for requests, default 10 seconds.
+
+The commands can be dynamic, using templates to insert values of other entities. Service call support variables for template stuff.
