# NZBGet

> NZBGet is a built-in integration for Home Assistant. It has 387 installs sharing analytics and works locally.

NZBGet is a built-in integration that connects Home Assistant to an NZBGet download client over the local network. It adds sensors for article cache, average speed, free disk space, current speed, speed limit, queue size, uptime and post-processing jobs. Two further sensors report whether downloads and post-processing are paused. A switch controls the download queue, and actions can pause it, resume it, or set the download speed limit. Setup happens in the UI, where the host, port, username and password are entered, with options for SSL use and certificate verification.
