# HomeLink

> HomeLink is a built-in integration for Home Assistant. It has 44 installs sharing analytics and needs the vendor's cloud.

HomeLink is a built-in Home Assistant integration that connects to the HomeLink cloud service. It exposes event entities, which are the only entity platform it provides. Setup is done in the user interface with the email address and password of a HomeLink account. Sign-in goes through the vendor's own page. New devices appear without setting the integration up again, and devices that no longer exist are removed automatically.
