SABnzbd
The sabnzbd
component will allow you to monitor and control your downloads with SABnzbd from within Home Assistant and setup automations based on the information.
If SABnzbd is discovered on your network, you can enter your API Key in the Configurator. Press “CONFIGURE” to do it.
This will create services for interacting with SABnzbd in scripts and automations, but no sensors will be created.
