# Example configuration entry
statsd:
  host: REPLACEME
  sensors:
    id: some_sensor
    name: test1.sensor

sensor:
  platform: ...
  id: some_sensor

This example will generate a metric named test1.sensor with the value of the some_sensor sensor.

• prefix (Optional, string): The prefix to automatically prepend every metric with. Defaults to "".
• update_interval (Optional, uint16): How often to send the metrics. Defaults to 10s.
• sensor (Optional, Sensor list): A list of sensors to generate metrics for.
• binary_sensor (Optional, Sensor list): A list of binary sensors to generate metrics for.

Sensor list

• id (Required, ID): The ID of the sensor.
• name (Required, name): The Name of the metric the sensor value is send as. (Prefix is added to this name).
