Transmission addon for Hass.io

The torrent client for Hass.io with OpenVPN support.

Installation

The installation of this add-on is pretty straightforward and not different in comparison to installing any other Hass.io add-on.

1. Add https://github.com/pierrickrouxel/hassio-addon-transmission.git to your Hass.io instance as a repository.
2. Install the "Transmission" add-on.
3. Start the "Transmission" add-on.
4. Check the logs of the "Tranmission" to see if everything went well.
5. Open the web-ui

Configuration

Note: Remember to restart the add-on when the configuration is changed.

Transmission add-on configuration:

{
  "log_level": "info",
  "authentication_required": false,
  "username": "",
  "password": "",
  "openvpn_enabled": false,
  "openvpn_config": "",
  "openvpn_username": "",
  "openvpn_password": ""
}

Option: log_level

The log_level option controls the level of log output by the addon and can be changed to be more or less verbose, which might be useful when you are dealing with an unknown issue. Possible values are:

• trace: Show every detail, like all called internal functions.
• debug: Shows detailed debug information.
• info: Normal (usually) interesting events.
• warning: Exceptional occurrences that are not errors.
• error: Runtime errors that do not require immediate action.
• fatal: Something went terribly wrong. Add-on becomes unusable.

Please note that each level automatically includes log messages from a more severe level, e.g., debug also shows info messages. By default, the log_level is set to info, which is the recommended setting unless you are troubleshooting.

Option: authentication_required

This option can be used to password protect the web-ui.

Option: username

The username for authentication.

Option: password

The password for authentication.

Option: openvpn_enabled

Enable OpenVPN to anonymize your torrent activity.

Option: openvpn_config

The name of .ovpn file. You should put it in /config/openvpn.

Option: openvpn_username

Your OpenVPN username.

Option: openvpn_config

Your OpenVPN password.

Embedding into Home Assistant

This addon supports ingress, thus it can simply be integrated into Home Assistant without having to forward any additional ports. Here is an example configuration:

transmission:
  host: f6fddefc-transmission
  monitored_conditions:
    - download_speed
    - upload_speed
    - active_torrents

If you want, you can add an icon to the sidebar by toggling Show in Sidebar as well.
