[HomeKit](https://developer.apple.com/homekit/) controller integration for Home Assistant allows you to connect HomeKit accessories to Home Assistant. This component should not be confused with the [HomeKit](homekit) component, which allows you to control Home Assistant devices via HomeKit.
There is currently support for the following device types within Home Assistant:
- [Light](../light.homekit_controller)
- [Switch](../switch.homekit_controller)
The component will be automatically configured if the [`discovery:`](components/discovery/) component is enabled and an enable entry added for HomeKit:
```yaml
discovery:
enable:
- homekit
```
For each detected HomeKit accessory, a configuration prompt will appear in the web front end. Use this to provide the HomeKit PIN.
