The To-do list {% term integration %} provides to-do list {% term entities %}, allowing other integrations to integrate to-do lists into Home Assistant. To-do lists are shown on the To-do lists dashboard for tracking items and whether or not they have been completed.
{% include integrations/building_block_integration.md %}
For example, Local to-do is a fully local integration to create to-do lists and tasks within your Home Assistant instance, Shopping list specifically for shopping that can be added to with Assist, or other integrations work with online services providing to-do list data.
Viewing and managing to-do lists
Each to-do list is represented as its own entity in Home Assistant and can be viewed and managed on a to-do list dashboard. You can find the to-do list dashboard in the main sidebar of your Home Assistant instance.
The state of a to-do list entity
The state of a to-do list entity is a number, which represents the number of incomplete items in the list.

- Unavailable: The entity is currently unavailable.
- Unknown: The state is not yet known.
