The `modbus` binary sensor allows you to gather data from [Modbus](http://www.modbus.org/) coils.
To use your Modbus binary sensors in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yml entry
binary_sensor:
- platform: modbus
coils:
- name: Sensor1
slave: 1
coil: 100
- name: Sensor2
slave: 1
coil: 110
```
Configuration variables:
- **coils** array (*Required*): The array contains a list of coils to read from.
- **name** (*Required*): Name of the sensor.
- **slave** (*Required*): The number of the slave (Optional for TCP and UDP Modbus).
- **coil** (*Required*): Coil number.
