+    :description: Instructions for setting up a StatsD
+    :keywords: StatsD, metrics
+
+StatsD is a `protocol <https://github.com/statsd/statsd/blob/master/docs/metric_types.md>`_ to send metrics to a Daemon to store and aggregate them.
+Today there are many monitoring solutions that support receiving metrics via the StatsD protocol.
+
+.. note::
+
+    This component will only work with Arduino for the ESP8266 since the `esphome::socket` implementation does not support UDP.
+    ESP32 will work fine with or without Arduino as Framework.
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+    # Example configuration entry
+    statsd:
+      host: 192.168.178.20
+      prefix: esphome
+      sensors:
+        id: wlan_signal
+        name: test1.wifi.signal
+
+    sensor:
+      platform: wifi_signal
+      id: wlan_signal
+      name: "WiFi Signal"
+      update_interval: 10s
+
+
+This example will generate a metric named `esphome.test1.wifi.signal` with the value of the `wifi_signal` sensor.
+
+
+Configuration variables:
+------------------------
+
+- **host** (**Required**, ip): The Host IP of your StatsD Server.
+- **post** (*Optional*, uint16): The Port of your StatsD Server. Defaults to ``8125``.
+- **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*, :ref:`sensors`): A list of sensors to generate metrics for.
+- **binary_sensor** (*Optional*, :ref:`sensors`): A list of binary sensors to generate metrics for.
+
+.. _sensors:
+
+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).
