Reddit	How to integrate the Reddit sensor into Home Assistant.	reddit.png	Sensor	0.89	Cloud Polling

The Reddit sensor integrates data from Reddit to monitor your favorite subreddits.

Setup

To set up this sensor, you will need to generate a client_id and client_secret for the user account you will use to connect. Follow the first steps in this Wiki page.

This integration does not support Reddit's two-factor authentication. If you use two-factor authentication for your Reddit account, create a separate Reddit account without two-factor authentication for use with Home Assistant.

Configuration

To enable this platform, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

# Example configuration.yaml entry

  - platform: reddit
    username: !secret reddit_username
    password: !secret reddit_password
    client_id: !secret reddit_client_id
