Reddit


The Reddit sensor integrates data from Reddit to monitor your favorite subreddits.

Setup

To set up this sensor, you will need to generate a client_id and client_secret for the user account you will use to connect. Follow the first steps in this Wiki page.

This integration does not support Reddit's two-factor authentication. If you use two-factor authentication for your Reddit account, create a separate Reddit account without two-factor authentication for use with Home Assistant.

To enable this platform, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:
