The `serial` sensor {% term integration %} is using the data provided by a device connected to the serial port of the system where Home Assistant is running. With [`ser2net`](https://ser2net.sourceforge.net/) and [`socat`](http://www.dest-unreach.org/socat/) would it also work for sensors connected to a remote system.

Side note: Both ser2net nor socat are available on HASS OS.

To check what kind of data is arriving at your serial port, use a command-line tool like `minicom` or `picocom` on Linux, on a macOS you can use `screen` or on Windows `putty`.
