The `torque` platform will allow you to monitor [Torque](http://torque-bhp.com/) data relayed from a Bluetooth OBD2 stick via the Torque mobile application.
## {% linkable_title Configuration %}
To use Torque sensors with your installation, you must configure both the Torque mobile application and Home Assistant.
### {% linkable_title 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](/components/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.
### {% linkable_title Home Assistant %}
Add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
- platform: torque
email: your_configured@email.com
```
Configuration variables:
- **name** (*Optional*): Vehicle name (your choice).
- **email** (*Required*): Email address configured in Torque application.
