[App][Pro] Bose Devices

Hey @Aldin_Adam_Jerjas ,
That’s the thing. This feature only works with a specific subset of Bose devices and not for all. But I have no capability to detect whether it is supported or not. So the card is showing for all devices you have paired, even if it is not supported by that device.

You can only test it if it works. I am not sure because I have no device supporting it. But I would assume that it needs at least to be a SoundTouch device which has a display on it for the message to be displayed.

I have Bose Soundtouch 20 which I would like to play it on.

Also have Soundtouch 30, it also has display.

You know if it works on one of them.

No idea. You can just try test it and see if the device responds to it.
What you can do is try capture the error output of the flowcard see if it gives anything back.
Or try submitting an app diag report after executing the card, then I can check if I see anything in the logs.

Hi Aldin,

I also have a Soundtouch 20, and I can tell you: It works. Important: The source sharing the MP3 file needs anonymous access, since there is no login facility in the app. I’ve done this, sharing a MP3 from a QNAP NAS, in a public folder (default setup) which has anonymous read-only access. Some routers have a functionality to share a USB storage to the network, but I haven’t tried this.

Edit: Maybe it’s also possible to access with credentials in the app: try this:
http://username:password@192.168.x.x/path/file.mp3

(In this case I use a Heimdall WHEN card to initiate the flow: “When Alarm-delay is activated” which has the Reason and Zone tags. )

Hello!

Thanks for your response. I actually got it to work after my last comment. Used this webpage. Created an account and just uploaded my file and it worked and it generated me an URL for free😊

Any idea what the message is? The reason is what is displayed on the Display.

Have you all heard about Bose’s plan to stop technical infrastructure for the Bose Soundtouch series?

If you -like me- disagree with this, sign the petition at: Petition · Urge Bose to maintain SoundTouch cloud support - United States · Change.org

In February your Soundtouch devices will lose their smart functions like multiroom etc.
Maybe this is not the right place, but I wonder what workarounds you guys have found? Mopidy maybe?

Hello everyone,
I think the news that Bose is discontinuing Soundtouch servers is terrible.
I found someone on GitHub who is trying to find a solution with a local server to replace the Bose cloud.
Unfortunately, I don’t have the technical skills to help with this project.
Perhaps a developer here might be interested in this project?
Have a great day, everyone!
