+
+This `SynologyDSM` sensor allows getting various statistics from your Synology NAS. Please note that using this sensor wakes up your synology if in hibernation mode.
+
+To use the SynologyDSM sensor in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
+
+```yaml
+# Example configuration.yml entry
+sensor:
+  - platform: synologydsm
+    host: <Synology IP>
+    port: <Synology Port, Default: 5000>
+    username: <Username>
+    password: <Password>
+    monitored_conditions:
+      - cpu_total_load
+      - memory_real_usage
+      - network_up
+      - network_down
+      - disk_smart_status
+      - disk_temp
+      - volume_status
+      - volume_size_used
+```
+
+Configuration variables:
+
+- **host** (*Required*): The IP address of the Synology NAS to monitor
+- **port** (*Optional*): The port number on which the NAS is reachable (defaults to 5000). 
+- **username** (*Required*): An user to connect to the Synology NAS (a seperate account is adviced).
+- **password** (*Required*): The password of the user to connect to the Synology NAS.
+- **volumes** (*Optional*): Array of volumes to monitor (defaults to all volumes).
+- **disks** (*Optional*): Array of disks to monitor (defaults to all disks).
+- **monitored_conditions** (*Required*): Defines a [template](/topics/templating/) to extract a value from the payload.
