+The glances sensor platform is consuming the system information provided by the [Glances](https://github.com/nicolargo/glances) API. This enables one to track remote host and display their stats in Home Assistant.
+
+This sensors needs a running isntance of `glances` on the host:
+
+```bash
+glances -w
+Glances web server started on http://0.0.0.0:61208/
+```
+
+To enable the glances sensor, add the following lines to your `configuration.yaml`:
+
+```yaml
+# Example configuration.yaml entry
+sensor:
+  platform: glances
+  name: Glances sensor
+  host: IP_ADDRESS
+  port: 61208
+  resources:
+    - 'disk_use_percent'
+    - 'disk_use'
+    - 'disk_free'
+    - 'memory_use_percent'
+    - 'memory_use'
+    - 'memory_free'
+    - 'swap_use_percent'
+    - 'swap_use'
+    - 'swap_free'
+    - 'processor_load'
+    - 'process_running'
+    - 'process_total'
+    - 'process_thread'
+    - 'process_sleeping'
+```
+
+Configuration variables:
+
+- **host** (*Required*): The IP address of your host, eg. 192.168.1.32.
+- **port** (*Option*): The network port to connect to. Default is 61208.

+`curl` could help you with the identification of the variable you want to display in your Home Assistant frontend. The example below show the JSON response of a device that is running with [aREST](http://arest.io/).
+
+```bash
+$ curl -X GET http://192.168.1.31/temperature/
+{"temperature": 77, "id": "sensor02", "name": "livingroom", "connected": true}
+```
+
+resources
+*Required
+Resources to monitor on the host. See the configuration example above for a
+list of all available conditions to monitor.
