<p>The core of Home Assistant exists of the following parts.</p>
<p>The <b>Event Bus</b> facilitates the firing and listening of events. This is the beating heart of Home Assistant.</p>
<p>The <b>State Machine</b> keeps track of the states of things. Fires a state_changed event when a state has been changed.</p>
<p>The <b>Service Registry</b> listens on the event bus for call_service events and allows other code to register services.</p>
<p>The <b>Timer</b> will send every 10 seconds a time_changed event on the event bus.</p>
<p>Take for example the device_tracker component. This component is responsible for keeping track which devices are home. It checks which devices are home every time a time_changed event is fired on the event bus. It will then update the state machine with the information for each device.</p>
<p>This setup allows us to create simple yet powerful logic for controlling your home:</p>
<pre><code>In the event that the state of device 'Paulus Nexus 5' changes to the 'Home' state:
If the sun has set and the lights are not on:
Turn on the lights
In the event that the combined state of all tracked devices changes to 'Not Home':
If the lights are on:
Turn off the lights
In the event of the sun setting:
If the lights are off and the combined state of all tracked device equals 'Home':
Turn on the lights
</code></pre>
<p>By using the Bus as a central communication hub between components it is easy to replace components or add functionality. If you would want to change the way devices are detected you only have to write a component that updates the device states in the State Machine.</p>
