Smartthings & Bose Soundtouch 30 speaker

[robs1011]

I’m noticing with Sonos speakers you can play a sound when you arrive home using a door sensor or whatever you want to use. I also saw that Bose Sounttouch 30 speaker is compatible with Smartthings and I have it synced to the hub but the sounds will not play when I use the smart app. Is this because the smart app is only for Sonos speakers? Is there an app for Bose speakers? This is a very cool concept and I’d love to be able to use my Bose speaker with my system at home. Anyone have any tips or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks!

You must to install the MediaRenderer_Connect to find any Generic Media Renderer (Network Speaker) The MediaRender Player is the device type needed to control each Media Renderer.

The commponent allows you to convert the player in a Media Renderer (Verify your firewall do not block the foobar2000 port ) I have tried some Media Renderers, but is better if you give me a feedback of the models that works for you. Tip : Please, just install one time the MediaRenderer Connect from the phone, If you have…
