<p>The TCP Binary Sensor is a type of <a href="/components/sensor.tcp/">TCP Sensor</a> which is either “off” or “on”. In order to use this sensor type, in addition to the configuration for the TCP Sensor, you must supply a <code>value_on</code> value to represent what is returned when the device is turned on.</p>
<p>To enable this sensor, add the following lines to your <code>configuration.yaml</code>:</p>

<p>Configuration options for the a TCP Sensor:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>name</strong> (<em>Required</em>): The name youd like to give the sensor in Home Assistant.</li>
<li><strong>host</strong> (<em>Required</em>): The hostname/IP address to connect to.</li>
<li><strong>port</strong> (<em>Required</em>): The port to connect to the host on.</li>
<li><strong>payload</strong> (<em>Required</em>): What to send to the host in order to get the response were interested in.</li>
<li><strong>value_on</strong> (<em>Required</em>): The value returned when the device is “on”.</li>
<li><strong>timeout</strong> (<em>Optional</em>): How long in seconds to wait for a response from the service before giving up and disconnecting. Defaults to 10.</li>
<li><strong>value_template</strong> (<em>Optional</em>): Defines a <a href="/topics/templating/">template</a> to extract the value. By default its assumed that the entire response is the value.</li>
<li><strong>buffer_size</strong> (<em>Optional</em>): The size of the receive buffer in bytes. Set this to a larger value if you expect to receive a response larger than the default. Defaults to 1024.</li>
