The `deluge` switch platform allows you to control your [Deluge](http://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, eg., 192.168.1.32.
username:
  required: true
  type: string
  description: Your Deluge username, if you use authentication.
password:
  required: true
  type: string
  description: Your Deluge password, if you use authentication.
port:
  required: false
  type: integer
  default: 58846
  description: "The port your Deluge daemon uses. (Warning: This is not the port of the WebUI.)"
name:
  required: false
  type: string
  default: Deluge Switch
  description: The name to use when displaying this Deluge instance.
{% endconfiguration %}
