pyload
The pyLoad integration enables monitoring your downloads directly in Home Assistant. This integration provides various sensors to keep track of your download activities and allows creating automations based on the sensor information, alongside button and switch controls for performing specific tasks such as aborting downloads and managing file restarts.

Limitations from the docs
- Paused downloads: When the download queue is paused, active downloads will continue, but new downloads in the queue will not start until the queue is resumed.
- Halt all downloads: To completely halt downloading, use the Abort all running downloads action. The Restart failed files/packages action will also resume any aborted downloads.
In ReReHome
Whatever HomeKit Bridge shares reaches Apple Home as normal HomeKit accessories behind your Home Assistant bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls them like any other.
Bridges get their own settings page listing the accessories behind them.
