The `hddtemp` sensor platform is using the data provided by [HDDTemp](http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/hddtemp).
It required that `hddtemp` is started or running in daemon mode on a local or remote system.
```bash
$ hddtemp -dF
```
To setup a HDDTemp to your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
- platform: hddtemp
disks:
- /dev/sda1
```
Configuration variables:
- **name** (*Optional*): Friendly name to use for the frontend. Default to "HD Temperature".
- **host** (*Optional*): Host where `hddtemp` is running. Default to `localhost`.
- **port** (*Optional*): Port that is used by `hddtemp` . Default to `7634`.
- **disks** (*Optional*): Disk to be monitored. Example: `/dev/sda1`
