The `serial` sensor platform is using the data provided by a device connected to the serial port of the system where Home Assistant is running. With [`ser2net`](http://ser2net.sourceforge.net/) and [`socat`](http://www.dest-unreach.org/socat/) would it also work for sensors connected to a remote system.
To check what kind of data is arriving at your serial port, use a command-line tool like `minicom` or `picocom` on Linux, on a macOS you can use `screen` or on Windows `putty`.
```bash
$ sudo minicom -D /dev/ttyACM0
```
To setup a serial sensor to your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
- platform: serial
port: /dev/ttyACM0
```
{% configuration %}
port:
description: Local serial port where the sensor is connected and access is granted.
required: true
type: string
name:
description: Friendly name to use for the frontend. Default to "Serial sensor".
required: false
type: string
{% endconfiguration %}
## {% linkable_title `value_template` for Template sensor %}
### {% linkable_title TMP36 %}
{% raw %}
```yaml
"{{ (((states('sensor.serial_sensor') | float * 5 / 1024 ) - 0.5) * 100) | round(1) }}"
```
{% endraw %}
