The `steam` sensor platform will allow you to track the online status of public [Steam](https://steamcommunity.com) accounts.
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
You need a [free API key](https://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey) to use the platform.
|
|
|
|
To find an account's 64-bit SteamID on profiles without a custom URL you can check the URL of the profile page, the long string of numbers at the end is the 64-bit SteamID. If the profile has a custom URL you will have to copy the URL into [STEAMID I/O](https://steamid.io/) to find the 64-bit SteamID.
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
To use Steam in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
|
sensor:
|
|
- platform: steam_online
|
|
api_key: YOUR_API_KEY
|
|
accounts:
|
|
- account1
|
|
- account2
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
{% configuration %}

|

|
|
|
|
## Examples

|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
|
group:
|
|
steam:
|
|
name: Steam
|
|
