Home Assistant (HACS Integration)
Integrating OliveTin with Home Assistant allows you to control OliveTin from your Home Assistant dashboard. Using the HACS integration is the recommended way to integrate OliveTin with Home Assistant. It is easy to set up and provides a seamless experience.
If you are not familiar with HACs, it is a custom component for Home Assistant that allows you to install and manage custom integrations easily. It is similar to the Home Assistant Add-ons store but for integrations.
