Components add support for devices, automation, and much much more to Home Assistant. The following things are supported out-of-the-box.

{% linkable_title Entities %}

Entities are things that you want to observe within Home Assistant. Support for these things are provided by the entity components Light, Switch, Thermostat, Media player, Device tracker, and Sun.

Support for these services is provided by the Home Assistant community and not the service providers.
