[OpenALPR](http://www.openalpr.com/) integration for Home Assistant allows you
to process licences plates from a camera. You can use them to open a garage door
or trigger any other [automation](/components/automation/).

For using the result inside an automation rule,
take a look at the [component](/components/image_processing/) page.
