# IHC Controller

> IHC Controller is a built-in integration for Home Assistant. It has 281 installs sharing analytics and works locally.

IHC Controller is a built-in integration that connects Home Assistant to an IHC controller over the local network. It provides binary sensors, lights, sensors and switches for the devices on the controller. It also adds actions to pulse an input on the controller. Other actions set boolean, float or integer runtime values on the controller, which allows automations to write values back to it. Setup is done in the configuration file, and nothing extra needs to be installed.
