# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
  platform: transmission
  name: Transmission
  host: 192.168.1.26
  port: 9091
  username: YOUR_USERNAME
  password: YOUR_PASSWORD
  monitored_variables:
    - type: 'current_status'
    - type: 'download_speed'
    - type: 'upload_speed'

To use the monitoring, your transmission client needs to allow remote access. If you are running the graphical transmission client (transmission-gtk) go to Edit -> Perferences and choose the tab Remote. Check Allow remote access, enter your username and your password, and uncheck the network restriction as needed.

If everthing is setup correctly, the details will show up in the frontend.
