# Apple iCloud

> Apple iCloud is a built-in integration for Home Assistant. It has 5.6k installs sharing analytics and needs the vendor's cloud.

Apple iCloud is a built-in integration that connects Home Assistant to Apple Accounts through the vendor's cloud. It provides calendars, presence, sensors and to-do lists for the account and its linked devices. Actions let an automation display a message on an Apple device, put a device in lost state, or play the Lost device sound. Another action asks for a state update of all devices linked to an Apple Account. Setup happens in the UI and covers email and password sign-in, an option for family sharing, and a verification code or trusted device step for multi-factor authentication.
