The `twitch` platform will allow you to monitor [Twitch](https://www.twitch.tv/) channel status from within Home Assistant and setup automation based on the information.
## Setup Client ID and Client secret
Create a new app at "Register Your Application" in the [Twitch developer portal](https://dev.twitch.tv/console/apps). Then get the __Client ID__ and __Client secret__ for the new application.
## Setup OAuth Token
To enable the follow and subscription attributes, the OAuth token is needed to get the right permissions on the Twitch API.
If you don't need those, ignore the configuration setting: `token`.
To get the OAuth token, visit the [OAuth Token Generator](https://twitchapps.com/tokengen/#), insert your __Client ID__ and `user:read:subscriptions` inside __scopes__.
Before clicking Summit (the broken image below the form), visit the [Twitch dev console](https://dev.twitch.tv/console) and add a new application.
As __OAuth Redirect URLs__ add `https://twitchapps.com/tokengen/` and click __Create__
.
Back at the Token Generator, click the __Connect__ button, accept the consent screen and get your __OAuth Token__.
## Configuration
To use Twitch with your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry

platform: twitch
client_id: YOUR_TWITCH_CLIENT_ID
client_secret: YOUR_TWITCH_CLIENT_SECRET
