--- title: Torque description: Instructions on how to integrate Torque sensors into Home Assistant. ha_category: - Car ha_release: '0.10' ha_iot_class: Cloud Polling ha_domain: torque --- The `torque` platform will allow you to monitor [Torque](https://torque-bhp.com/) data relayed from a Bluetooth OBD2 stick via the Torque mobile application. ## Setup To use Torque sensors with your installation, you must configure both the Torque mobile application and Home Assistant. ### Torque application In **Settings** -> **Data Logging & Upload**: Under the **Logging Preferences** header: - Touch **Select what to log**, activate the menu in the upper right, and select **Add PID to log**. - Select items of interest. Under the **Realtime Web Upload** header: - Check **Upload to web-server**. - Enter `http://HOST:PORT/api/torque?api_password=YOUR_PASSWORD` as the **Web-server URL**, where `HOST` and `PORT` are your externally accessible Home Assistant HTTP host and port and YOUR_PASSWORD is your Home Assistant's [API password](/integrations/http/). It highly recommended that you protect your Home Assistant instance with [SSL/TSL](/docs/ecosystem/certificates/). - Enter an email address in **User Email Address**. - Optionally set the **Web Logging Interval**. The 2-second default may quickly fill up the Home Assistant history database. ### Configuration Add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file: ```yaml # Example configuration.yaml entry sensor: - platform: torque email: your_configured@email.com ``` {% configuration %} name: description: Vehicle name (your choice). required: false default: vehicle type: string email: description: Email address configured in Torque application. required: true type: string {% endconfiguration %}
