I recently bought a Bose Soundtouch 10 in the hopes to connect it to my SmartThings system. I bought it, took it home and set it up using the Bose app and everything was fine. Even connected to my Alexa system so that I could activate it via voice, but I couldn’t for the life of me figure out how to connect it to SmartThings. I thought it would be a piece of cake and the system would just detect the Bose Soundtouch 10 unit and integrate it to my network of things. However it just won’t pick it up.
I also noticed that there are various SoundTouch 10 models out there with different model numbers. The model on the official integration page is 731396-1100 but I’ve seen 731396-2200 and 731396-5100. Do all Soundtouch 10s or just the the 1100? Would love to know your thoughts on this. Is there another way to work around the direct integration? Either through a logitech harmony hub or something else?
I’d ideally like to use it for notifications and turning on music as sunrise/sunset etc.
I have two houses with a smartthing hub and 3 Bose SoundTouch (20, 30 and Portable) in each location.
For the past couple years I preferred the Bose speakers not be on SmartThings. Every time I added anything to SmartThings the Speakers would show up and I’d have to remove them.
Now, I want them on smartthings.
For the life of me they won’t show up now.
One thing different is I’ve also added them to Alexa but I tried removing that as well.
I am having an issue as well. I had 2 speakers connected for over a year now.
One of them went offline in smartthings and not matter what I do, I can’t add it back.
It still works through alexa because alexa is also connected to the bose skill but not through smartthings.
I tried removing it, clear the cache and doing the discovery.
I also tried to remove it, re-attaching it to the soundtrack app (successfully) and then do the discovery.
The 2nd speaker is still connected to smartthings and working without an issue.
Any thoughts?
