So you've installed Home Assistant and it's working.  Great, but it doesn't do very much yet.  You probably don't have a lot of smart home devices lying around.  Or do you?

Here are some integrations you can start using with the devices you already have.

Internet Printing Protocol (IPP)

This works with network-enabled printers.

Mobile App

Install the Home Assistant app on your mobile devices.  Not only can you use Home Assistant's dashboard from those devices, you can get all sorts of sensor data from them.

Music Assistant

This integration, and add on, allow you to stream music.  You can use all sorts of providers like Spotify, Apple Music, and mp3 files you already have.

You can then play that music on a large number of devices.  Computers, mobile devices, and smart speakers.

Ping (ICMP)

A simple integration to test if something is reachable on the network.  This could tell you whether the Internet is online, or if a particular server is alive.

Sun

This doesn't actually connect to the sun, but it does report when the sun rises, sets and other details.
