# Connection routes

> Connect supported devices and understand each route's status.

Use **Connection routes** on the HA Link page to open the right Home Assistant integration for your devices.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Choose your connection">
    Find **HomeKit accessories**, **Matter devices**, **Alexa devices**, **Google Home speakers**, or **Google Nest devices**. Read the short description to check that it matches your device.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open setup or management">
    Select **Set up** to begin the native integration's setup, or **Manage devices** to open an existing integration. Use **Setup guide** if you need help with pairing or account sign-in.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Return and refresh">
    Return to **HA Link** and select the refresh icon. **Ready to set up** means no integration entry exists, **Configured · not loaded** means none is loaded, and **Connected** means at least one is loaded.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Check>
  Each route shows its entity count and how many are available. A Connected label confirms the integration loaded; individual devices can still be unavailable.
</Check>

<Note>
  Selecting a route in HA Link's settings does not pair devices or sign in to an account.
