+This sensor fetches information from a configured URL and displays the certificate expiry (in days). The `host` and `port` must lead to a working SSL website.
+
+To add the Certificate Expiry sensor to your installation, add these options to `configuration.yaml` file:
+
+```yaml
+# Example configuration.yaml entry
+sensor:
+  - platform: cert_expiry
+    host: home-assistant.io
+```
+
+Configuration variables:
+
+- **host** (*Required*): The host FQDN (or IP) to retrieve certificate from
+- **port** array (*Optional*): Port number (default **443**).
+
+<p class='note warning'>
+Make sure that the URL exactly matches your endpoint or resource.
+</p>
