+The modbus switch platform allows you to control [Modbus](http://www.modbus.org/) switches.
+
+To use your Modbus switches in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
+
+```yaml
+# Example configuration.yml entry
+switch:
+ platform: modbus
+ slave: 1
+ registers:
+ 24:
+ bits:
+ 0:
+ name: My switch
+ 2:
+ name: My other switch
+ coils:
+ 0:
+ name: My coil switch
+```
+
+Configuration variables:
+
+- **slave** (*Required*): The number of the slave (ignored and can be omitted if not serial Modbus).
+- **registers** array (*Required*): The array contains a list of relevant registers to read from.
+ - **number of register** (*Required*): Listing relevant bits. It must contain a `bits` section.
+ - **bits** array (*Required*): Listing relevant bits. It must contain a `bits` section.
+ - **name** (*Required*): Name of the switch.
+- **coils** (*Optional*): A list of relevant coils to read from/write to
+ - **number of coil** array (*Required*):
+ - **name** (*Required*): Name of the coil.

++Each named bit will create a switch. +
