The torque platform will allow you to monitor Torque data relayed from a Bluetooth OBD2 stick via the Torque mobile application.

{% linkable_title Setup %}

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. It highly recommended that you protect your Home Assistant instance with SSL/TSL.
• 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.
