# Requirements

Check these points before you install.

## What you need

- Spooly Pro, the trial counts. It runs for 14 days without a credit card.
- An enabled Spooly API. During the beta I enable accounts one by one.
- Home Assistant 2026.8 or newer.
- From Home Assistant 2026.11 the Marketplace, which replaces HACS. Up to 2026.10 you need HACS. Without either, you install by hand.
- For sign-in with a click: [My Home Assistant](https://my.home-assistant.io) on your instance. Most instances have it set up, otherwise use a key.

> Beta: The integration needs the Spooly API. It is only open for enabled accounts right now. Send me a short note about what you plan to do. Or write to support@spooly.eu.

## For the actions

- The permission to change. With sign-in by click, “Also allow changes” is preselected. With a key, you switch on “May also change”.
- For slots, an active slot autopilot in Spooly. Reading works without it.
- For the gross weight from a scale, an empty spool weight (tare) on the spool.
