Home Assistant Integration Knowledge

Integration Quality Scale

• When validating the quality scale rules, check them at https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/core/integration-quality-scale/rules
• When implementing or reviewing an integration, always consider the quality scale rules, since they promote best practices.

Template scale file: ./script/scaffold/templates/integration/integration/quality_scale.yaml

How Rules Apply

1. Check manifest.json: Look for "quality_scale" key to determine integration level
2. Bronze Rules: Always required for any integration with quality scale
3. Higher Tier Rules: Only apply if integration targets that tier or higher
4. Rule Status: Check quality_scale.yaml in integration folder for:
   • done: Rule implemented
   • exempt: Rule doesn't apply (with reason in comment)
   • todo: Rule needs implementation

Testing Requirements

• Tests should avoid interacting or mocking internal integration details. For more info, see https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/development_testing/#writing-tests-for-integrations
