# Pterodactyl

> Pterodactyl is a built-in integration for Home Assistant. It has 77 installs sharing analytics and works locally.

Pterodactyl is a built-in integration that connects Home Assistant to a Pterodactyl game server panel. It works locally and is set up in the UI with an account API key and the URL of the server, including the protocol and optionally the port. Binary sensors report whether the server is running and whether it is suspended. Buttons start, stop, restart or force stop the server. Sensors cover CPU limit and utilization, disk limit and usage, memory limit and usage, inbound and outbound network traffic, and uptime.
