First off, let me say this is fantastic!
I have been reading the thread and it seems like I should have buttons to power down the system and to reboot the system. However I do not! I also do not see any unraid services in HA/Developer Tools/Actions
What am I missing?
I am running HA on bare metal at version 2025.12.5
I have your integration version 2026.01.0 installed
Unraid version is 7.2.3
Thanks Matt
This, I´m also looking for a way to automate the shutdown of my unraid server in ordner to make it more power cost efficient. The turning on is resolved with a smart outlet and bios recovery on power loss but I don´t have a simple clean way to shut it down. Been looking for it in this integration and can´t find it as well? Was this removed?
It’s unclear to me why as a user I should choose ha-unraid or ha-unraid-management-agent the other integration method, can anyone give some insights?
The feature set seems identical except for the authentication method, API vs Unraid Plugin.
Furthermore, the ha-unraid asks for ADMIN level access which is understandable for controlling Unraid, however, it would also be nice to have a VIEWER level compatible access for monitoring only.
For HA-UNRAID you can try set API key for minimum secure permissions

The ha-unraid-management-agent integration and Unraid management agent plugin have more features. It has MCP support for GitHub Copilot, Claude, WebSockets for streaming. Planning to add Prometheus support.
Thanks for the clarification, I suppose it’s more future proof then!
Do you plan to keep developing on both projects or is ha-unraid-management-agent your current go-to?
I’ll work on both ha-unraid and ha-unraid-management-agent.
Plan is to migrate ha-unraid from HACS into HA Core at some point.
@ruaandeysel - amazing work, just see the latest change log. Thank you for the ability to turn things off and slow other items right down. Fits my slow checking needs so much better. Will be doing some fine tuning with this in the next few days.
@mattlward @dgpmaluco You can try the updated version of ha-unraid-management-agent.
It supports reboot and shutdown
Ah, was running the old one… will try it out.
