# Gatus

> Gatus is a built-in integration for Home Assistant. It has 43 installs sharing analytics and works locally.

Gatus is a built-in Home Assistant integration that connects to a Gatus status page instance. It communicates locally and is set up in the UI with the base URL of the instance, plus optional username and password or an API token. It adds binary sensors and sensors for the monitored endpoints, including certificate expiration, DNS response code, last event, response time and status code.
