The `upcloud` switch platform allows you to control (start/stop) your UpCloud servers.

## {% linkable_title Configuration %}

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

```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
switch:
  - platform: upcloud
    servers:
      - 002167b7-4cb1-44b7-869f-e0900ddeeae1
      - 00886296-6137-4074-afe3-068e16d89d00
```
