[Modbus](http://www.modbus.org/) is a serial communication protocol to control PLCs (Programmable logic controller). It currently supports sensors and switches which can be controlled over serial, TCP, and UDP connections.
To add modbus to your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
modbus:
type: serial
method: rtu
port: /dev/ttyUSB0
baudrate: 9600
stopbits: 1
bytesize: 8
parity: N
sensor:
platform: modbus
slave: 1
registers:
16:
name: My integer sensor
unit: C
24:
bits:
0:
name: My boolean sensor
2:
