The `telnet` switch platform allows you to control devices with telnet commands.
|
|
|
|
To enable this switch, add the following lines to your `configuration.yaml` file:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry

platform: telnet

|
|
port: 4002
|
|

|
|
command_off: "PWR OFF"
|
|
command_state: "PWR?"
|
|
value_template: '{% raw %}{{ value == "PWR=01" }}{% endraw %}'
|
|
```
|
