The `homematic` sensor platform lets you view various [Homematic](http://www.homematic.com/) sensors within Home Assistant.

To set it up, add the following information to your `configuration.yaml` file:

```yaml
sensor:
  platform: homematic
  address: LEQ1234567
  name: Dishwasher
  param: POWER
```

Configuration variables:

- **address** (*Required*): The serial number of the device, eg. LEQ1234567
- **name** (*Optional*): Name to identify the device.
- **button** (*Optional*): Channel of the device to monitor. Defaults to 1.
- **param** (*Optional*):  For devices with multiple channels and possible events, you may define which event type you want to attatch to this entity.

Currently the following devices are supported:

- Thermostats / Weather sensors (param: TEMPERATURE, HUMIDITY)
- Switch Powermeter (param: POWER, CURRENT, VOLTAGE, FREQUENCY, ENERGY_COUNTER)
- Motion detectors (param: BIRGHTNESS)
- Rotary (no parameters needed)
