The to-do list integration provides to-do list entities, allowing other integrations to integrate to-do lists into Home Assistant. To-do lists are shown on the to-do list dashboard for tracking items and whether or not they have been completed.

{% include integrations/building_block_integration.md %}

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.
