# Home Assistant

The Ruuvi Gateway integration was introduced in Home Assistant 2023.2, see <https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/ruuvi_gateway/>

## Setup

Install [Home Assistant OS 9.5](https://github.com/home-assistant/operating-system/releases/tag/9.5) or newer.

Configure Ruuvi Gateway to use [Polling mode](/ruuvi-gateway-firmware/examples/polling-mode.md) (configure a Bearer token for read-only access).

Adding Ruuvi Gateway to your Home Assistant instance can easily be done by simply clicking on this [link](https://my.home-assistant.io/redirect/config_flow_start?domain=ruuvi_gateway). After that, you'll see the following confirmation:
