Some integrations work with multiple different brands. This can happen because,
|
||||
for example, those devices share a communication protocol, or they are
|
||||
white-labeled and sold under multiple brand names.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, if you have a Somfy TaHoma, you can actually use it using the
|
||||
Overkiz integration. The problem is, how do you know you can use Overkiz in
|
||||
that case? And this is not the only example, we have many more!
|

|

To make setting up things in Home Assistant easier, integrations can now

## Finding the integration supporting your device
|
||||
|
||||
Some integrations work with multiple different brands. This can happen because,
|
||||
for example, those devices share a communication protocol, are white-labeled
|
||||
and sold under numerous brand names, or may carry different brand names
|
||||
depending on where in the world they are sold.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, if you have a Luxaflex cover, you can actually use it using the
|
||||
Hunter Douglas PowerView integration. And this is not the only example;
|

there are many more! The problem is, how would one know that?

To make setting up things in Home Assistant easier, integrations can now
