# Kaleidescape

> Kaleidescape is a built-in integration for Home Assistant. It has 159 installs sharing analytics and works locally.

Kaleidescape is a built-in integration that connects Home Assistant to Kaleidescape media players over the local network. It adds a media player, a remote and a set of sensors for each device. The sensors report play status, play speed and media location, along with Cinemascape mode and mask values. Other sensors cover screen mask ratios, top and bottom mask and trim values, and video color depth. Home Assistant can discover the player on the network and offer to add it, and setup is done in the UI by entering the host.
