Pull Data from Your Car into Home Assistant // Tasker and Torque
This week's video is about my car dashboard in Home Assistant. We use Torque to pull data from the car, Tasker to prepare that data, and then upload to Home Assistant.
Now it is a long video (25ish minutes), but I hope it is full of good information. Sadly it is Android only...
Let me know if you tackle this project! Hopefully if you have never used Tasker or Torque this will get your feet wet.
