+The Home Assistant core is responsible for Home Control. It has four parts to make this possible:
* The **Event Bus** facilitates the firing and listening of events. This is the beating heart of Home Assistant.
* The **State Machine** keeps track of the states of things. Fires a `state_changed` event when a state has been changed.

Home Assistant can be extended by **components**. Each component is responsible for a specific domain within Home Assistant. Components can listen for- or trigger events, offer services and maintain states. Components are written in Python and can do all the goodness that Python has to offer. Out of the box, Home Assistant offers a bunch of [built-in components]({{site_root}}/components/).

+When we put all the different pieces of Home Assistant together we see that we match pretty close to the initial sketched home automation overview. The smart home AI is not implemented yet and therefor ommitted from the following picture.

+Component's platform logic uses 3rd party Python libraries to communicate with the devices. This is done so that we can leverage great device libraries that are out there in the Python community.

## Multiple connected instances
-Home Assistant supports running multiple synchronzied instances using a master-slave model. Slaves forward all local fired events and set states to the master instance which will then replicate it to each slave.
