+The rest switch platform allows you to control a given endpoint that supports a [RESTful API](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_state_transfer). The switch can get the state via GET and set the state via POST on a given REST resource.
+
+To enable this switch, add the following lines to your `configuration.yaml` file:
+
+switch:
+  platform: rest
+  resource: http://IP_ADDRESS/ENDPOINT
+  name: "Bedroom Switch"
+  body_on: "ON"
+  body_off: "OFF"
+```
+
+Configuration variables:
+
+- **resource** (*Required*): The resource or endpoint that contains the value.
+- **name** (*Optional*): Name of the REST switch.
+- **body_on** (*Optional*): The body that represents enabled state. Default is "ON".
+- **body_off** (*Optional*):The body that represents disabled state. Default is "OFF".
+
+<p class='note warning'>
+Make sure that the URL matches exactly your endpoint or resource.
