OpenALPR 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.

{% linkable_title Local installation %}

If you want process all data locally, you need version 2.3.1 or higher of the alpr commandline tool.

If you don't find binaries for your distribution you can compile from source. Documention of how to build openalpr is found here.

On a Debian system you can use this cmake command to build only the command line tool:

$ cmake -DWITH_TEST=FALSE -DWITH_BINDING_JAVA=FALSE --DWITH_BINDING_PYTHON=FALSE --DWITH_BINDING_GO=FALSE -DWITH_DAEMON=FALSE -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/usr ..

Verify your alpr installation with:

$ wget -O- -q http://plates.openalpr.com/h786poj.jpg | alpr -
