# HACS Integrations

### 1. Add integrations that HACS has released.

1\) Many brands of devices and services have been officially released on HACS, so you can directly search for them at the HACS entry point.

3\) When you enter the homepage of the selected integration,

* &#x20;please click on the 'Download' button located at the bottom right corner of the page.&#x20;
* Click download on pop-up page&#x20;
* After the download is complete, the pop-up window will automatically close.
* At this point, click to refresh the page. If the 'Download' button in the bottom right corner disappears, it indicates that you have successfully loaded the integration.

After completing this step, please proceed to **step 3** to continue with the configuration.

### 2. Add integration from HACS Custom repositories

1）Enter HACS, click on the three dots in the top right corner (the 'More' options), and then select 'Custom repositories'.

2）Find the GitHub link provided by the device manufacturer, copy and paste it into the 'Repository' field, then select 'Integration' from the 'Category' dropdown menu, and finally click the 'Add' button. For example, LinknLink smart home device HACS integration github link is: <https://github.com/linknlink/linknlink-local>

3\) Ensure that iSG has internet access at this time, as Home Assistant needs to be able to access GitHub. Once connected, a pop-up will automatically search for the integration, and you can simply click 'Add'. Please follow the subsequent wizard prompts to proceed.
