Add a secondary category menu to the "Add Integration" page

There are many integrations at present, and different types of integrations are mixed together in the “Add Integration” page.

Is it possible to add a classification submenu, which can be used to separate different types of integration?

for example, smart device vendors (such as Xiaomi, etc.), cloud service vendors (such as cloudflare and Google), and hass built-in integration (version, season and date).

After separating them, users can search (or explore) what they want more specifically.

I use machine translation, and I’m very sorry if my expression is biased.

It seems like if the dev team extended the categories and labels functionality from the automation/entities section that would meet the need.

Oh, you may have misunderstood me.

I mean this page:

Ah, I see. That is different than the place I was thinking. Thanks for the clarification.

See that globe icon next to your screenshot? It means it’s dependent on the internet to work. There are similar icons for cloud-based integrations.

What more would you need beyond a pretty clear icon? If you’re searching for an integration, it’s already pretty simple to see which ones are cloud/internet dependent.

I don’t think an icon is enough, and I don’t need to know if an integration requires a network.

Many useful tool integrations are mixed among a large number of manufacturers. I may never know there is such an integration.

Also, many related tutorials on the Internet are in English. When I translated them into Chinese, the integration names that appear in them are likely to be different from those in Ha. Search may no longer be useful at this time, so I need to read the entire integration list. Classification can speed up the search and be more purposeful.

I have good news for you. As of today, the integrations page has been enhanced with an IOT class filter, which makes things much simpler.
