The modbus switch platform allows you to control Modbus coils or registers.

To use your Modbus switches in your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

# Example configuration.yml entry
switch:
  platform: modbus
  slave: 1
  coils:
    - name: Switch1
      slave: 1
      coil: 13
    - name: Switch2
      slave: 2
      coil: 14
  registers:
    - name: Register1
      slave: 1
      register: 11
      command_on: 1
      command_off: 0
