+The `torque` platform will allow you to monitor [Torque](http://torque-bhp.com/) data relayed from a bluetooth OBD2 stick via the Torque mobile application.
+
+## {% linkable_title Configuration %}
+To use Torque sensors with your installation, you must configure both the Torque mobile application and Home Assistant.
+
+### {% linkable_title Torque application %}
+
+In **Settings** -> **Data Logging & Upload**:
+
+Under the **Logging Preferences** header:
+
+- Touch **Select what to log**, activate the menu in the upper right, and select **Add PID to log**.
+- Select items of interest.
+
+Under the **Realtime Web Upload** header:
+
+- Check **Upload to webserver**.
+- Enter `http://HOST:PORT/api/torque` as the **Webserver URL**, where `HOST` and `PORT` are your externally-accessible Home Assistant HTTP host and port.
+- Enter an email address in **User Email Address**.
+- Optionally set the **Web Logging Interval**. The 2-second default may quickly fill up the Home Assistant history database.
+
+### {% linkable_title Home Assistant %}
+
+Add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
+
+```yaml
+# Example configuration.yaml entry
+sensor:
+  platform: torque
