Is there a bit torrent integration for home assistant? I have a bunch of torrents already on it and was hoping I could manage it via home assistant somehow.
On what? With what client?
There is a Transmission integration I know of: Transmission - Home Assistant (home-assistant.io)
BitTorrent is a client…
Well, it’s mainly understood as a protocol, but whatever.
I don’t know if that client exposes an API, but I wouldn’t hold by breath
Umm I think you mean torrent. BitTorrent is a name for that particular client. But ok. Idk how annoying it would be to try to migrate everything over so 
Bittorrent is both the protocol and the client you speak of.
Does that client have an api?
What are you trying to control or monitor?
Does the client have an API? BitTorrent? I don’t know.
What am I trying to control or monitor? Status of torrents and if their downloading n stuff.
And also I think their just called torrents not bit Torrents. Like I say I’m going to download a torrent. Not I’m going to download a BitTorrent.
I am not talking about the filetype but the protocol name.
You use the bittorrent protocol to download a file described by a torrent file. You can do that via a program called BitTorrent, or any other bittorent client that follows the protocol, like rtorrent, utorrent etc.

So theirs no way to integrate it. Ok
I couldn’t find an api. Is there a web front end?
