+### Use a rotary encoder
+You can capture in rules the value of a rotary encoder connected to 2 GPIOs configured as `Rotary_a|<n>` and `Rotary_b|<n>`. Optionally the button of the rotary encoder can be connected to another GPIO configured as `Button|<n>`. `<n>` must be the same to allow the encoder to manage 2 absolute counters from the same rotary encoder.
+
+To get triggers from the rotary encoder into rules, you must enable [`SetOption98 1`](Commands#setoption98). The rotary encoder `<n>` provides a JSON in the form of `{'Rotary<n>': {'Pos1': value, 'Pos2': value}}`. You can use the following rules triggers:
+
+```haskell
+SetOption98 1
+Rule1
+  ON Rotary1#Pos1 DO something_with %value% ENDON
+  ON Rotary1#Pos2 DO something_with %value% ENDON
+```
+
+#### Result
+`Pos1` is changed when the rotary encoder is turned while button is not pressed. `Pos2` is changed while button is pressed. Both `Pos1` and `Pos2` are published whatever is the button position, so both trig at the same time.
+
+The button will still have it's default action (such as toggling power). If you want to avoid that, you need to capture the button into a dummy rule such as `ON Button1#state DO Delay 0 ENDON`.
+
+The range of the rotary encoder is hardcoded in `#define ROTARY_MAX_STEPS 10`. If you want to change the range, you must change the value in your `user_config_override.h` and [recompile](Compile-your-build).
