# LinkPlay

> LinkPlay is a built-in integration for Home Assistant. It has 6.6k installs sharing analytics and works locally.

LinkPlay is a built-in integration that connects LinkPlay audio devices to Home Assistant over the local network. It adds a media player, a button to sync the device time, and a select for the audio output hardware mode. An action called play preset starts a stored preset on the device. Home Assistant can discover devices on the network and offer to add them, or the device host name or IP address can be entered in the UI. A diagnostics file can be downloaded to attach to a bug report.
