# Elmax

> Elmax is a built-in integration for Home Assistant. It has 18 installs sharing analytics and needs the vendor's cloud.

Elmax is a built-in Home Assistant integration for connecting Elmax alarm panels. It adds alarms, binary sensors, covers and switches to Home Assistant. The connection goes through the vendor's cloud, and it can also be set up with a panel's local address and PIN code. Setup asks for the account username and password, plus the panel PIN code, and is done in the UI. A strict SSL check can be turned off for panels without a valid certificate or without SSL support. Home Assistant can also find a panel on the network and offer to add it.
