The Transmission platform allows you to monitor your downloads from within Home Assistant and setup automation based on the information.

# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
  platform: transmission
  host: IP_ADDRESS
  port: 9091
  name: Transmission
  username: YOUR_USERNAME
  password: YOUR_PASSWORD
  monitored_variables:
    - 'current_status'
    - 'download_speed'
    - 'upload_speed'

Configuration variables:

• host (Required): This is the IP address of your Transmission daemon, eg. 192.168.1.32.
• port (Optional): The port your Transmission daemon uses, defaults to 9091.
• name (Optional): The name to use when displaying this Transmission instance.
• username (Optional): Your Transmission username, if you use authentication.
• password (Optional): Your Transmission password, if you use authentication.
• display_variables array: Conditions to display in the frontend.
  • current_status: The status of your Transmission daemon.
  • download_speed: The current download speed.
  • upload_speed: The current upload speed.

To use the monitoring, your transmission client needs to allow remote access. If you are running the graphical transmission client (transmission-gtk) go to Edit -> Perferences and choose the tab Remote. Check Allow remote access, enter your username and your password, and uncheck the network restriction as needed.

If everthing is setup correctly, the details will show up in the frontend.
