Via REST and MQTT, the Audio Deck becomes part of your automations in Home Assistant¹. A doorbell, a motion sensor or a machine that has finished triggers announcements, and music and phone react to what happens in the building.

## Part of 1x1-Smart Home

The Audio Deck is one building block of our smart home system. All building blocks work together in Home Assistant.

- Open interfaces: REST and MQTT, so the Audio Deck talks to your automations.
- Local: No cloud account: all data stays in your network.
- Our own sensors: Our sensor nodes send readings straight to Home Assistant, without a manufacturer cloud. [See the sensor nodes](https://1x1it.de/en/homeassistant/sensoren/)
- Supported by one provider: We plan, install and support the whole system, in Berlin and Brandenburg. [See 1x1-Smart Home](https://1x1it.de/en/homeassistant/)
