How Can I Use Sonarr to Automatically Detect My Current State for Optimal Download Speeds?

I’ve been using Sonarr for a while now to manage my TV show downloads, and it’s been a game-changer for keeping my library organized. However, I’ve been wondering if there’s a way to improve the efficiency of my downloads based on my current internet connection. Specifically, I’m curious if there’s a way to use a “what state am I currently in” tool or feature within Sonarr (or alongside it) to automatically adjust settings based on my location or connection quality.

For example, when I’m at home, my internet is fast and stable, so I’d want Sonarr to prioritize downloading higher-quality files quickly. But when I’m traveling or on a slower network, it would be great if Sonarr could recognize that and either pause downloads or switch to smaller file sizes to save bandwidth. Is there a way to set up Sonarr so that it can detect my current state—whether that be my geographical location or the quality of my internet connection—and adjust its operations accordingly?

I’ve seen some mentions of location-based settings in other applications, where the app can adjust its behavior based on whether you’re on Wi-Fi, mobile data, or in a specific region. Does Sonarr have any similar functionality? If not directly, are there any integrations or external tools that can be used to achieve this? Maybe something that works with Sonarr’s API or a third-party plugin that can help with dynamic adjustments based on real-time data?

I’d love to hear if anyone in the community has tried something similar or if there are any recommended approaches for making Sonarr more aware of “what state am I currently in” so it can adapt to different environments. I’m open to any suggestions, whether it’s tweaking existing settings, using additional tools, or even setting up automated scripts to handle these adjustments. Thanks in advance for any insights or advice!

Sonarr does have API documentation but I do not believe it can set the download speed of your download client natively. There would be so many integrations that Sonarr would have to write to implement that function natively. I think you would be looking at making a script that runs every so often, or one that you run yourself when you change location, to change the setting for your download client.
