This can typically be one of those batteryless wall switches. Currently only one type has been tested: Eltako FT55. Other devices will most likely not work without changing the Home Assistant code.

To use your EnOcean device, you first have to set up your [EnOcean hub](/components/enocean/) and then add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:

```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
binary_sensor:
  - platform: enocean
    id: [0x01,0x90,0x84,0x3C]
```

Configuration variables:

- **id** (*Required*): The ID of the device. This is the 4 bytes long number written on the dimmer.
- **name** (*Optional*): An identifier for the switch in the frontend.
- **sensor_class** (*Optional*): The [type/class](/components/binary_sensor/) of the sensor to set the icon in the frontend.
