The transmission platform allows you to control your [Transmission](http://www.transmissionbt.com/) client from within Home Assistant. The platform enables you switch to your 'Alternative Speed Limits' (aka 'Turtle mode') setting.
To add Transmission to your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
switch:
platform: transmission
host: IP_ADDRESS
port: 9091
name: Transmission
username: USERNAME
password: PASSWORD
```
Configuration variables:
- **host** (*Required*): This is the IP address of your Transmission daemon, eg. 192.168.1.32.
- **port** (*Optional*): The port your Transmission daemon uses, defaults to 9091.
- **name** (*Optional*): The name to use when displaying this Transmission instance.
- **username** (*Optional*): Your Transmission username, if you use authentication.
- **password** (*Optional*): Your Transmission password, if you use authentication.
