    Ooh, outstanding - I searched recently for whether it was possible to flash open firmware and that seemed to be a bust, but I never thought about a board replacement!

    Thanks for the link, I’ll be looking into this with great interest.

    Edit: ah damn, just saw the price plus shipping to me, and it’s a fair bit more than buying complete package other options. It’s definitely an awesome initiative and this guy has done an admirable job, just might not be the best fit for me right now. I don’t want to contribute to hardware waste, so will keep running what I’ve got instead of buying brand new speakers, but will keep an eye on this project for sure.

      That’s true, it’s not cheap. But I have a bunch of them in the house which work great as speakers, but I have trouble integrating them properly in Home Assistant. And there are hardly any alternatives in the same form factor.

        I had some trouble with them working with HA too, but a while back started running Lyrion Media Server as the backbone to all my local music streaming. Since then, they’ve all been pretty bulletproof (using the Lyrion/Squeezelite HA integration for all speakers, and no longer piecing together the integrations for the individual speaker types). YMMV, but FYI.
