There is currently support for the following device types within Home Assistant:

- [Sensor](#sensor)
- [Switch](#switch)

## Sensor

The `deluge` platform allows you to monitor your downloads with [Deluge](https://deluge-torrent.org/) from within Home Assistant and setup automation based on the information.

To enable this sensor, add the following lines to your `configuration.yaml`:

```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
  - platform: deluge
    host: IP_ADDRESS
    username: USERNAME
    password: PASSWORD
    monitored_variables:
      - 'current_status'
      - 'download_speed'
      - 'upload_speed'
```

{% configuration %}
host:
  required: true
  type: string
  description: This is the IP address of your Deluge daemon, e.g., 192.168.1.32.
port:
  required: false
  type: integer
  description: The port your Deluge daemon uses. Warning, this is not the port of the WebUI.
  default: 58846

  {% endconfiguration %}

## Switch

The `deluge` switch platform allows you to control your [Deluge](https://deluge-torrent.org/) client from within Home Assistant. The platform enables you switch all your torrents in pause, and then unpause them all.

To add Deluge to your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:

```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
switch:
  platform: deluge
  host: IP_ADDRESS
  username : USERNAME
  password : PASSWORD
```

{% configuration %}
host:
  required: true
  type: string
  description: This is the IP address of your Deluge daemon, e.g., 192.168.1.32.
username:
  required: true
  type: string
  description: Your Deluge username, if you use authentication.

{% endconfiguration %}
