## Configuration

This integration has the following Nextcloud Server prerequisites:

- The user must be in the Nextcloud `admin` group (__*Nextcloud*__ > __*Users*__)
- The Nextcloud 'Monitoring' app must be installed (__*Nextcloud*__ > __*Apps*__ > 🔍(Search Icon) > __*Monitoring*__ > __*Enable*__)
- (Recommended) A Nextcloud App password should be generated for use in Home Assistant (__*Nextcloud*__ > __*Settings*__ > __*Personal*__ > __*Security*__ > __*Devices & sessions*__ > __*Create new app password*__)

To enable the Nextcloud integration, add the following lines to your `configuration.yaml`:
