NixOS provides native support for [https://www.home-assistant.io/faq/ha-vs-hassio/ Home Assistant Core] and offers integration facilities for most pieces of its comprehensive ecosystem:

* As of the ~~2025~~.8.3 release we support over 99% (~~1350~~/~~1363~~) of the built-in integrations

* As of the 2026.2.0 release we support over 98% (1375/1394) of the built-in integrations

* We support [https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/tree/master/pkgs/servers/home-assistant/custom-components custom components] through the <code>[https://search.nixos.org/options?channel=unstable&show=services.home-assistant.customComponents&from=0&size=50&sort=relevance&type=packages&query=services.home-assistant.customComponents services.home-assistant.customComponents]</code> option

* We support source-built [https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/tree/master/pkgs/servers/home-assistant/custom-lovelace-modules custom lovelace modules] mostly through [https://search.nixos.org/options?channel=unstable&show=services.home-assistant.customLovelaceModules&from=0&size=50&sort=relevance&type=packages&query=services.home-assistant.customLovelaceModules services.home-assistant.customLovelaceModules] option

* We do not support [https://www.home-assistant.io/addons/ addons], which are used to deploy additional services, that are configurable from Home Assistant on their operating system

* We do not support [https://www.home-assistant.io/addons/ apps] (previously addons), which are used to deploy additional services, that are configurable from Home Assistant on their operating system

** NixOS has native support for various services, that integrate with Home Assistant, e.g. [[EVCC]], [[Frigate]], [[Mosquitto]], [[Music-Assistant]], [[Wyoming]], [[zigbee2mqtt]], [[Z-Wave JS]]

Line 197:

We provide a way to declaratively manage custom lovelace modules through the NixOS module with the [https://search.nixos.org/options?channel=unstable&show=services.home-assistant.customLovelaceModules&from=0&size=50&sort=relevance&type=packages&query=home-assistant services.home-assistant.customLovelaceModules] option.

~~Custom~~ components can be found under [https://search.nixos.org/packages?channel=unstable&from=0&size=50&sort=relevance&type=packages&query=home-assistant-custom-lovelace-modules pkgs.home-assistant-custom-lovelace-modules].

When a custom module is configured, the generated Home Assistant configuration file (eg. <code>/var/lib/hass/configuration.yaml</code>) will list the module in the <code>lovelace</code> config section as a new resource. If your lovelace configuration mode is <code>yaml</code>, the custom module should be loaded automatically.

However, if your lovelace configuration mode is <code>storage</code> (the default), then the Home Assistant lovelace module will ignore the custom module resource. In that case you additionally need to add the custom module through the lovelace UI in the Resources tab with its path like <code>/local/nixos-lovelace-modules/<module-entrypoint></code>.

Available custom components can be found under [https://search.nixos.org/packages?channel=unstable&from=0&size=50&sort=relevance&type=packages&query=home-assistant-custom-lovelace-modules pkgs.home-assistant-custom-lovelace-modules].
