How to make default Torque integration work in Home Assistant

The original post was written in February 2023, and since then, the official Torque integration has remained unchanged, as seen for example here.

Just tried it. Working great.
I was using This method on youtube last year but stopped working for some reason so I am glad I found your post.

Update: welp, spoke too soon. The integration disappeared after restart :rofl:

2nd Update: found the torque_logger hint from posts above.

Yeah the sensors disappear as soon as you restart home assistant :disappointed:

With Nabucasa it works, but not with cloudflare, do you have any ideas ?

This is a great tutorial and I was really hoping to get this working. Went and ordered an ELM 327 device and was about to starting setting up, only to find that the Torque app does not working on the newer versions of Android. Does anybody know if there is a replacement App that would work with the integration? Or any other alternative way to do something similar with an ELM 327 device?

My main requirement is not live data, but rather checking on mileage and time to next service when (connecting when i get home)

Thanks in advance

Torque absolutely works on the latest Android version. Just set it up again a few days ago on a new Galaxy.

I am running Android 14 and it does not allow for installation. I went and found a place for the APK and it said that it would not install as it is designed for older versions of Android.
If you go and read the reviews of the app, there are many people complaining that it doesnt even run on as far back as Android 12. The app was last updated over 4 years ago

It must be that I have Torque Pro. Still available and compatible with Android 14. However, it was last updated summer of last year. If I found another app that was modern and could do the same and send data to HA Iā€™d ditch Torque in a heartbeat.

Strange - even Torque Pro is not available for my Android 14 device:

I can configure perfectly!! But how is possible configure another veihcle (from another obd2 sensor, another email identifier)? I try without sucess!! Please help me!!

In this example only the last configuration works!! :

Torque has installed on my pixel 6, pixel 8 pro and pixel 9 pro xl and now running on android 15. I donā€™t think itā€™s the version of android. Maybe your phone?

I tried this but didnā€™t seem to work. I didnā€™t try too hard though.

I just installed this and got it working but just experienced the entities disappearing like others have said. Iā€™ve tried to install this custom component like was mentioned earlier in the posts GitHub - junalmeida/homeassistant-torque: Torque Logger integration for Home Assistant with persistent Sensors.

My issue is when I add the torque_logger folder to my custom_components in HA, I can see it in my integrations but when I go to install it I get this error? Has anyone else experienced this? I tried searching the error or looking at logs and couldnā€™t get anywhere. Iā€™ve tried rebooting a handful of times and retrying but get the same results.

THANK YOU! That worked! Last question, do you know if the steps that @rudolff posted here still apply for step 3 with this? Do I still need to change the api url in the app to add torque_logger at the end?

For torque_logger

https://your-homeassistant.ui.nabu.casa/api/torque_logger

For torque

https://your-homeassistant.ui.nabu.casa/api/torque

Unfortunately, the URL ā€¦/api/torque_logger doesnā€™t work for me. I installed both junalmeidaā€™s and dominikwrobelā€™s version, but I cant reach it through the mentioned link. Gives me a 404 error code inside the Torque Pro app. Installation of the plugin through HACS went without errors and also setting it up was done successfully, but no reaction on this URL whatsoever. Pointing a browser to this address also shows a 404 error.

No error messages in the HA log.

I tried the official integration, using ā€¦/api/torque for upload, this works as expected, all requested sensors appear in HA. But Iā€™d rather have persistent sensorsā€¦

Is there something I probably can try or have missed during setup, other than having all the necessary files inside the ā€œcustom componentsā€ folder and setting up the integration in the devices section using the same email address as in the Torque app?
