This integration enables control of some of the features of a Bang & Olufsen device through Home Assistant.
This integration uses the Mozart open API
Devices that have been tested and should work without any trouble are:
- Beolab 8
- Beolab 28
- Beosound 2 3rd gen
- Beosound A5
- Beosound A9 5th gen
- Beosound Balance
- Beosound Emerge
- Beosound Level
- Beosound Theatre
This integration can be added to a Home Assistant installation using HACS by adding https://github.com/bang-olufsen/bangolufsen-hacs
as a custom repository.
Afterwards, devices can be added to your Home Assistant installation manually by using the UI or by auto-discovery.
This integration adds an array of different useful entities that are generated and added automatically upon setup, customized for the supported features of the device. Some of these features, such as proximity sensor
and home-control
are manually defined based on model name in the code, as they currently can't be determined in any other way.

In order to find Deezer playlist, album URIs and user IDs for Deezer flows, the Deezer website has to be accessed. When navigating to an album, the URL will look something like: https://www.deezer.com/en/album/ALBUM_ID, and this simply needs to be converted to: album:ALBUM_ID
and the same applies to playlist, which have the format: playlist:PLAYLIST_ID
.
Additionally a Deezer user ID can be found at https://www.deezer.com/en/profile/USER_ID by selecting the active user in a web browser.
Deezer track IDs can currently only easily be found by playing the track on the device and looking at the extra state attributes, where it is shown with the key "deezer_track_id". Tracks do not have a prefix so the ID needs to be used directly.
All device triggers can be received by listinging to bangolufsen_event
event types.
Additionally the "raw" WebSocket notifications received from the device are fired as events in Home Assistant. These can be received by listening to bangolufsen_websocket_event
event types where device_id
is used to differentiate devices.
The "shortPress" of all the buttons, except for volume control, are available as device triggers.
If the device has a proximity sensor, then a proximity sensor binary sensor will be available in Home Assistant.
Device triggers for the Beoremote One are supported and will be available once the integration detects that it has been paired with the device. To trigger these triggers, enter the "Control" or "Light" submenu, and press any of the compatible buttons. Each button press will send a "press" and a "release" event and therefore also a "press" and a "release" device trigger.
The favourite buttons correspond to the physical favourite buttons on the device.
