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.
