The most comprehensive, efficient, and organized integration for monitoring Proxmox VE and PBS from Home Assistant.
This integration is designed for users who require full control over their hardware without overloading their server. Unlike other solutions, Proxmox Sensors Extended focuses on energy efficiency, secure Token-based authentication, and impeccable visual organization.

Example of a modern dashboard using Card-Mod (Dark Mode) and our structured sensors:
- Trigger Backups from HA: Start manual backups (
vzdump) for VMs and Containers directly via Home Assistant actions. - Smart Identification: Backups triggered from HA are automatically tagged with
ID | HA Backupin Proxmox. - Remote Storage Support: Full compatibility with local storage and Proxmox Backup Server (PBS), including remote providers like Tuxis.
- Incremental Efficiency: Leverages PBS deduplication to minimize bandwidth and storage usage on every backup.
- Real-time Temperatures: CPU Cores, VRM, and NVMe/SSD/HDD drives.
- Mechanical Sensors: Fan speeds (RPM) and motherboard voltages.
- Smart Filtering: Only entities with valid data are created. (Note: Requires lm-sensors on the Proxmox host).
- DataUpdateCoordinator: Minimizes API calls to save CPU cycles.
- Silent SSL: Handles self-signed certificates without log spam.
- Secure Auth: Full support for Proxmox API Tokens (PVE & PBS).
- Smart Grouping: Sensors automatically organized by: 1. Node, 2. Physical Disks, 3. VMs, 4. Containers.
- Auto-Prefixes: Keep your entity list and dashboards sorted by default.
- Network RX/TX sensors for VMs and Containers
- Detailed host CPU/RAM advanced metrics
- PBS maintenance buttons (GC, Prune, Verify, Sync)
- New PBS “Last Action” sensor with persistent local state
- Improved PBS sensor naming (cleaner UI without datastore prefix)
- Internal refactor and code cleanup for better stability and maintainability
- Create backups directly from PVE (VMs & Containers) via Home Assistant
- Additional PBS maintenance sensors (progress, duration, logs)
- Custom Lovelace Card templates
- Official HACS Repository submission
- Optional advanced PBS dashboard
