# SABnzbd

> SABnzbd is a built-in integration for Home Assistant. It has 2k installs sharing analytics and works locally.

SABnzbd is a built-in integration that connects Home Assistant to a SABnzbd download server over the local network. It adds sensors for download speed, queue, status, remaining data, disk space, and daily, weekly, monthly and overall totals. A binary sensor reports warnings from the server. Buttons pause and resume downloads, and a number entity sets the speed limit. Setup happens in the UI and asks for the server URL and its API key. Connection settings can be changed later without removing the integration.
