# Fing

> Fing is a built-in integration for Home Assistant. It has 284 installs sharing analytics and works locally.

Fing is a built-in integration that connects Home Assistant to a Fing agent on the local network. It provides presence tracking for the devices the agent reports. Communication stays local, with no cloud service involved. New devices show up on their own without running setup again, and devices that are gone are removed automatically. Setup is done in the UI by entering the agent's IP address, the API port and an API key.
