Built inLocal push
The Bang & Olufsen integration enables control of some of the features of certain Bang & Olufsen devices through Home Assistant.
In Apple Home through HomeKit Bridge
What HomeKit Bridge makes of each kind of entity this integration creates, read from its source code. A device only gets the ones that apply to it.
| Entity | Shows up as | Note |
|---|---|---|
media_player | Media player (as switches) | Only TVs and receivers get a TV tile; other players show as power and play switches; Needs its own HomeKit Bridge in accessory mode |
binary_sensor | Sensor (motion, contact, leak, smoke…) |
What people report
Mozart-platform B&O devices work locally; timers, presets, stereo pairs and sound settings still need the B&O app.
