Settings
Home Keeper's integration options are editable right in the panel — a Settings
tab alongside Tasks and Appliances — so you never have to dig through Settings →
Devices & services → Configure. It's a plain form that mirrors the options flow
(currently the problem-sensor sync toggle plus entity / area / label exclusions)
and saves as you change it. The same options remain available through the HA
options flow and the home_keeper.set_options service (for automations).
Companions
A companion is any integration that works with Home Keeper — a pet-care tracker that schedules recurring chores, a bridge that turns low batteries into replacement tasks, and so on. You shouldn't have to already know a companion exists to benefit from it, so the Companions section at the bottom of the Settings tab surfaces them for you:
- Connected — companions that are integrated with Home Keeper and have announced themselves (e.g. Pawsistant, or the Battery Notes bridge). Each row has a Configure button that takes you to that companion's own page — so the pet-care schedules or the battery-task options live where they belong, one click away.
- Suggested — Home Keeper also recognises a few popular integrations that aren't companions yet. If you have one installed (e.g. Battery Notes) but not the small "glue" that integrates it, Home Keeper points you at that companion with an Install link. Not interested? Dismiss silences that suggestion.
Companions surface in two directions: one can register itself (so Home Keeper never has to hard-code it), while a popular upstream is detected from a curated catalog. Either way you find out — from inside Home Keeper — that the pieces fit together.
Know a companion that should be here? The Companions section links out to this page so you can always find the current list. If you maintain — or just know of — a companion or a small glue integration that isn't listed, please open a GitHub issue so we can add it to the suggested-companions catalog.
