# Bang & Olufsen

> Bang & Olufsen is a built-in integration for Home Assistant. It has 325 installs sharing analytics and works locally.

Bang & Olufsen is a built-in integration that connects Home Assistant to Bang & Olufsen devices over the local network. It provides binary sensors, events, media players and sensors for each device. Remote control and button presses are exposed as events, covering Bluetooth, colour keys and digit keys. Actions for Beolink let a device join or leave a Beolink experience, expand or unexpand the current one, and put all connected Beolink devices into standby. Home Assistant can discover these devices on the network and offer to add them, and setup in the interface asks for an IP address and a model. A diagnostics file can be downloaded to attach to a bug report.
