The `twitch` platform will allow you to monitor [Twitch](http://www.twitch.tv/) channel status from within Home Assistant and setup automation based on the information.

## {% linkable_title Setup %}

Create a new app at "Register Your Application" in the [Twitch developer portal](https://glass.twitch.tv/console/apps). Then get the **Client ID** for the new app.

## {% linkable_title Configuration %}

To use Twitch with your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:

```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry

```
