Bang & Olufsen is a Danish premium audio and video brand. Its connected speakers, soundbars and TVs sit on a network of Beolink multiroom products, and the newer ones run on the Mozart platform, which is set up and managed in the Bang & Olufsen app.

B&O products connect over Wi-Fi or Ethernet and stream through AirPlay, Google Cast, Spotify Connect and TIDAL Connect, with Beolink for multiroom. Mozart-based products expose a local API that Home Assistant uses, and B&O publishes drivers for Control4, Crestron and Savant, which suits custom-installed homes where audio is one part of a larger control system.
That suits people who want premium audio inside an integrator system or Home Assistant. It is less clear on the mainstream smart home side: B&O announced Matter updates for five Mozart products in October 2022, but we found no page confirming they shipped, and we found no Alexa documentation. B&O products are also audio and video devices, so lighting, locks and sensors need a separate system.

The single app for set-up and control. The listing says it replaces BeoSetup, BeoRemote and BeoPlay and covers sound settings, product updates, user guides, TIDAL and Deezer, B&O Radio, Apple Shortcuts and widgets. Version 7.7.1 requires iOS 15 or later. Published by Bang & Olufsen a/s. The listing does not mention Matter, Alexa, AirPlay or Chromecast. The Android link uses the package name com.bang_olufsen.OneApp shown by a third-party app tracker, and we could not load the Play page itself to confirm it.
