The `canary` integration allows you to integrate your [Canary](https://canary.is) devices in Home Assistant.

There is currently support for the following device types within Home Assistant:

- Alarm
- [Camera](#camera)
- [Sensor](#sensor)

## Configuration

You will need your Canary login information (username, usually your email address, and password) to use this module.

Go to the integrations page in your configuration and click on new integration -> Canary.

Once loaded, your front end will have the following integrations:

- A camera image triggered by motion for each camera.
- An alarm control panel for each location.
- A sensor per camera that reports temperature.
- A sensor per camera that reports humidity.
- A sensor per camera that reports air quality.

## Camera

The `canary` camera platform allows you to watch the live stream of your [Canary](https://canary.is) camera in Home Assistant. This requires the [`ffmpeg` integration](/integrations/ffmpeg/) to be already configured.

Once you have [Canary integration](/integrations/canary/) setup, your [Canary](https://canary.is) camera(s) should show up automatically.

## Sensor

The `canary` sensor platform allows you to integrate the sensors of your [Canary](https://canary.is) devices in Home Assistant.

To add `canary` sensors to your installation, follow instructions above.

Once loaded, you will see following sensors:

- A sensor per camera that reports temperature.
- A sensor per camera that reports humidity.
- A sensor per camera that reports air quality.
