The Tailscale integration integrates the [Tailscale](https://www.tailscale.com) API
|
|
with Home Assistant; giving you the possibility to monitor and automate on
|
|
the state of the devices in your Tailscale VPN network (Tailnet).

|
|
This integration **DOES NOT** make your Home Assistant accessible via
|
|
Tailscale VPN remotely!
|
|
|
|
If you want to access your Home Assistant instance remotely, you will
|
|
need to install Tailscale itself on your own. For instructions on how to do
|
|
this, please consult the [Tailscale documentation](https://tailscale.com/kb/).

## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
To use the Tailscale integration, you will need to obtain an API key,
|
|
you can create one in the [Tailscale Admin Panel](https://login.tailscale.com/admin/settings/authkeys).
|
|
|
|
Additionally, you will need to know the Tailnet name of your Tailscale network.
|
|
You can find it in the top left corner in the [Tailscale Admin Panel](https://login.tailscale.com/admin/settings/authkeys)
|
|
(beside the Tailscale logo).
