# Home assistant add-on: Transmission
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!

This addon supports mounting both local drives and remote SMB shares:

- **Remote shares**: See [Mounting Remote Shares in Addons](https://github.com/alexbelgium/hassio-addons/wiki/Mounting-remote-shares-in-Addons)
**Advanced Settings**: Complete transmission settings are available in `/share/transmission/settings.json`. Stop the addon before modifying as Transmission overwrites settings on shutdown.
