The `qbittorrent` platform allows you to monitor your downloads with [qBittorrent](https://www.qbittorrent.org/) from within Home Assistant and setup automations based on the information.

## Setup

This sensor requires the qBittorrent Web UI enabled. The [official reference](https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/wiki#webui-related) describes how to set up the Web UI.

{% include integrations/config_flow.md %}

## Sensors

The qBittorrent integration will add the following sensors:

- `sensor.qbittorrent_status`: The status of qBittorrent - `up_down`, `seeding`, `downloading` or `idle`.
- `sensor.qbittorrent_upload_speed`: The current total upload speed in kB/s.
- `sensor.qbittorrent_download_speed`: The current total download speed in kB/s.
- `sensor.qbittorrent_all_torrents`: The current total torrents in qBittorrent.
- `sensor.qbittorrent_active_torrents`: The current active torrents in qBittorrent.
- `sensor.qbittorrent_inactive_torrents`: The current inactive torrents in qBittorrent.
- `sensor.qbittorrent_paused_torrents`: The current paused torrents in qBittorrent.

## Services

### Service `qbittorrent.get_torrents`
