I maintain this and other Home Assistant add-ons in my free time: keeping up with upstream changes, HA changes, and testing on real hardware takes a lot of time (and some money). I use around 5-10 of my >110 addons so regularly I install test machines (and purchase some test services such as vpn) that I don't use myself to troubleshoot and improve the addons

If this add-on saves you time or makes your setup easier, I would be very grateful for your support!

About

Transmission is a bittorrent client. This addon is based on the docker image from linuxserver.io.

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

Install this add-on.
Click the Save button to store your configuration.
Start the add-on.
Check the logs of the add-on to see if everything went well.
Carefully configure the add-on to your preferences, see the official documentation for for that.
