+
+The `mystrom` switch platform allows you to control the state of your [myStrom](https://mystrom.ch/en/) switches. The built-in sensor is measuring the power consumption while the switch is on. 
+
+To use your myStrom switch in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
+
+```yaml
+# Example configuration.yaml entry
+switch:
+  platform: mystrom
+  host: IP_ADRRESS
+  name: MyStrom Switch
+```
+
+Configuration variables:
+
+- **host** (*Required*): The IP address of your myStrom switch, eg. http://192.168.1.32
+- **name** (*Optional*): The name to use when displaying this switch.
+
+Check if you are able to access the device located at `http://IP_ADRRESS`. The details about your switch is provided as a JSON response.
+
+```bash
+$ curl -X GET http://IP_ADDRESS/report
+{
+	"power":	0,
+	"relay":	false
+}
+```
+
+or change its state:
+
+```bash
+$ curl -G -X GET http://IP_ADDRESS/relay -d 'state=1'
+```
+
