# Fake Devices

> Fake Devices is a Marketplace integration for Home Assistant. It has 52 installs sharing analytics and was last updated November 10, 2026.

Fake Devices is a Marketplace integration that creates placeholder devices in Home Assistant. It suits non-smart items such as TV remotes and wall clocks, so that helper integrations like Battery Notes can be attached to a device. Each device has a name, manufacturer, model and serial number, with optional model ID, hardware, firmware and URL fields that can hold any short text. An optional MAC address is accepted in colon, hyphen, dotted or plain twelve-digit form. A valid URL adds a Visit link to the device page. No entities are created, and the device is only a placeholder, set up in the UI and editable later through reconfiguration.
