 Dallas Temperature Sensor
 =========================
 
-The ``dallas`` sensor allows you to define sensors for you :doc:`dallas sensor hub </esphomeyaml/components/dallas>`.
+The ``dallas`` sensor allows you to use ds18b20 and similar sensors.
+First, you need to define a :doc:`dallas sensor component </esphomeyaml/components/dallas>`.
+The dallas sensor component (or "hub") is an internal model that defines which pins the ds18b20
+sensors are connected to. This is because with these sensors you can actually connect multiple
+sensors to a single pin and use them all at once.
 
 To initialize a sensor, first supply either ``address`` **or** ``index`` to identify the sensor.

+to your assigned names and you should be ready.
