The `velbus` binary_sensor allows you to control [Velbus](http://www.velbus.eu) connected wall switches.
To use your Velbus wall switches in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
binary_sensor:
- platform: velbus
devices:
- name: Wall Switch 1
module: 0xda
channel: 4
- name: Wall Switch 2
module: 0xbc
channel: 1
is_pushbutton: true
```
Configuration variables:
- **devices** array (*Required*): The array contains the binary sensors to configure
- **name** (*Required*): Name of the binary sensor.
- **module** (*Required*): The hexadecimal module address
- **channel** (*Required*): The channel number in the module.
- **is_pushbutton** (*Optional*): Booelan to indicate if a wall switch is a push button or not (default: false)
For hub configuration, see [the Velbus component](/components/velbus/).
