+The arest sensor platform allows you to get all data from your devices (like Arduinos with a ethernet/wifi connection, the ESP8266, and the Raspberry Pi) running the [aREST](http://arest.io/) RESTful framework.
+
+To use your aREST enabled device in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
+
+```yaml
+# Example configuration.yaml entry
+sensor:
+  platform: arest
+  resource: http://IP_ADDRESS
+  monitored_variables:
+    - name: temperature
+      unit: '°C'
+    - name: humidity
+      unit: '%'
+```
+
+The variables in the `monitored_variables` array must be available in the response of the device. As a starting point you find below a sketch for the Arduino device family. 
+
+```c
+/*
+  This modified sketch is based on the Ethernet example of the aREST 
+  (http://arest.io/) library.
+*/
+
+// Libraries
+#include <SPI.h>
+#include <Ethernet.h>
+#include <aREST.h>
+#include <avr/wdt.h>
+
+// Device settings
+char* deviceId = "sensor02";
+char* deviceName = "livingroom";
+byte deviceMac[] = { 0x20, 0xD5, 0xD3, 0x03, 0xFE, 0x31 };
+IPAddress deviceIp(192, 168, 1, 12);
+
+EthernetServer server(80);
+aREST rest = aREST();
+
+// Variables to be exposed to the API
+int temperature;
+int humidity;
+
+void setup(void) {
+  Serial.begin(57600);
+
+  // Init variables and expose them to REST API
+  temperature = 0;
+  humidity = 0;
+  
+  rest.variable("temperature", &temperature);
+  rest.variable("humidity", &humidity);
+
+  // Give name and ID to device
+  rest.set_id(deviceId);
+  rest.set_name(deviceName);
+
+  Ethernet.begin(deviceMac, deviceIp);
+ 
+  server.begin();
+  Serial.print("Sensor is ready...");
+
+  // Start watchdog
+  wdt_enable(WDTO_4S);
+}
+
+void loop() {
+  EthernetClient client = server.available();
+  rest.handle(client);
+  wdt_reset();
+
+  // Replace this with your actual sensor readings, like
+  // temperature = (((analogRead(A0) * 5.0) / 1024) - 0.5) * 10;
+  temperature = random(400);
+  humidity = random(600);
+  delay(500);
+}
+
+```
+
+The JSON response contains the variables and their current values along with some device details.
+
+```json
+{
+   "variables" : {
+      "temperature" : 23,
+      "humidity" : 82
+   },
+   "id" : "sensor01",
+   "name" : "livingroom",
+   "connected" : true
+}
+```
