The `modbus` binary sensor allows you to gather data from [Modbus](http://www.modbus.org/) coils.
## {% linkable_title Configuration %}
To use your Modbus binary sensors in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
binary_sensor:
- platform: modbus
coils:
- name: Sensor1
hub: hub1
slave: 1
coil: 100
- name: Sensor2
hub: hub1
slave: 1
coil: 110
```
{% configuration %}
coils:
description: The array contains a list of coils to read from.
required: true
type: [map, list]
keys:
name:
description: Name of the sensor.
required: true
type: string
hub:
description: The name of the hub.
required: false
default: default
type: string
slave:
description: The number of the slave (Optional for TCP and UDP Modbus).
required: true
type: integer
coil:
description: Coil number.
required: true
type: integer
{% endconfiguration %}
It's possible to change the default 30 seconds scan interval for the sensor updates as shown in the [Platform options](/docs/configuration/platform_options/#scan-interval) documentation.
## {% linkable_title Full example %}
Example a sensor with a 10 seconds scan interval:
```yaml
binary_sensor:
- platform: modbus
scan_interval: 10
coils:
- name: Sensor1
hub: hub1
slave: 1
coil: 100
- name: Sensor2
hub: hub1
slave: 1
coil: 110
```
