# Tractive

> Tractive is a built-in integration for Home Assistant. It has 2.8k installs sharing analytics and needs the vendor's cloud.

Tractive is a built-in integration that connects Tractive pet trackers to Home Assistant through the vendor's cloud. It adds presence tracking for the tracker along with a power saving binary sensor. Sensors cover activity time, daily goal, day sleep, night sleep, rest time and tracker status. Switches turn live tracking, the buzzer and the LED on or off. Setup happens in the UI with the account email and password. A diagnostics file can be downloaded to attach to a bug report.
