Comment on Bose open-sources its SoundTouch home theater smart speakers ahead of end-of-life
NovaTheFluf@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 day agoThing is they didn’t actually open-source it, as stated in other comments. They just released the api documentation. While, yes, it is a step in the correct direction, it is definitely not open-source.
Open source would be releasing the source code for all the software involved, which they haven’t done.

I wasn’t affected by the Sonos App fiasco because I don’t use it. I mostly use the speakers through Spotify, and occasionally through Home Assistant. I only need the app to set scale schedule but once it was done, I didn’t need to go back.
Won’t this allow the same? With the API, you should be able to continue using your speakers with local automation, assuming someone wants to implement that.
