# Airthings

> Airthings is a built-in integration for Home Assistant. It has 4k installs sharing analytics and needs the vendor's cloud.

Airthings is a built-in integration that reads air quality data from Airthings devices through the vendor's cloud. It adds sensors to Home Assistant, including light, mold risk and virus risk. Setup happens in the UI, where an ID and a secret are entered. Home Assistant can also spot it on the network and offer to add it. Because it relies on the cloud service, an internet connection is needed for it to work.
