The `kankun` switch platform allows you to toggle customised Kankun SP3 wifi switches. Switches are
modified to include the [json.cgi](https://github.com/homedash/kankun-json/blob/master/cgi-bin/json.cgi)
script to provide a HTTP API. Details of the necessary modifications can be found
[here](http://www.homeautomationforgeeks.com/openhab_http.shtml#kankun) (be sure to install the JSON version
of the script as linked above).
To enable it, add the following lines to your `configuration.yaml`:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
switch:
platform: kankun
switches:
bedroom_heating:
host: hostname_or_ipaddr
```
Configuration variables:
- **switches** (*Required*): The array that contains all Kankun switches.
- **identifier** (*Required*): Name of the Kankun switch as slug. Multiple entries are possible.
- **host** (*Required*): Hostname or IP address of the switch on the local network.
