+### Configuring platform light
+
+The `modbus` light platform allows you to control [Modbus](http://www.modbus.org/)-enabled lights. We support two types of Modbus lights — coil-based and register-based.
+
+To use your Modbus lights in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
+
+```yaml
+# Example configuration.yaml entry
+modbus:
+  - type: tcp
+    host: IP_ADDRESS
+    port: 502
+    lights:
+      - name: Light1
+        address: 13
+        write_type: coil
+      - name: Light2
+        slave: 2
+        address: 14
+        write_type: coil
+        verify:
+      - name: Register1
+        address: 11
