[Custom Integration] Synology Download Station for Home Assistant

[barto_95]

Hi everyone,

I’m excited to introduce a new custom integration to monitor and control Synology Download Station directly from Home Assistant!
This project lets you keep track of your Synology NAS downloads and manage them in real-time with a set of live sensors, statistics, and notification/automation capabilities.

GitHub: GitHub - barto95100/synology-download-station: Home Assistant integration to monitor Synology Download Station - Intégration pour surveiller Synology Download Station

Key Features:

• Number of active downloads & seeds
• Download speed and total size (real-time)
• Global download progress and statistics
• Auto-refresh every 60 seconds
• Secure authentication/session handling (SSL/HTTPS support)

Usage Examples:

• Lovelace cards for quick monitoring (progress, speed, status…)
• Automations (e.g. push notifications when downloads complete)
