Free Homey app for Bose SoundTouch
SoundTouch Bridge
Give your Bose SoundTouch speakers a useful job again. SoundTouch Bridge lets Homey listen for physical preset button presses and start the right internet radio stream locally on the speaker.
If your SoundTouch speaker still sounds good but presets and internet radio stopped working after Bose discontinued the SoundTouch cloud, SoundTouch Bridge is built for that exact problem: working speakers, broken radio habits, and a Homey already running in the house or office.
Multiple speakers
Pair one or more SoundTouch speakers and manage their preset streams separately from Homey.
Radio stream presets
Search for compatible radio stations in the app or enter your own direct stream URLs, then save six presets per speaker.
Homey Flow support
Use Flow cards to react when a preset is pressed, play a configured preset, or play a direct stream URL.
Why this exists
Many Bose SoundTouch speakers are still perfectly usable as office, kitchen, or living-room speakers. The frustrating part is not the hardware. The frustrating part is losing the simple radio preset workflow that made the speaker feel appliance-like: walk up, press a preset, and hear the station.
SoundTouch Bridge fills that gap for Homey users. Homey acts as the always-on bridge, watches for SoundTouch preset button events over the local network, and starts playback with the speaker's local playback interfaces. The goal is not to replace Bose software or rebuild a full music platform. The goal is narrower: make internet radio presets practical again after the SoundTouch cloud shutdown.
The app is especially useful for offices and homes that already use Homey for automation and have one or more SoundTouch speakers that would otherwise sit unused.
What you need
- A Homey, Homey Pro, or Homey Server on the same local network.
- One or more Bose SoundTouch speakers reachable on the LAN.
- Radio stations found through the app search, or your own direct HTTP MP3 or AAC stream URLs.
- Homey Server should work, but has not been tested by us yet.
- Stereo sync and SoundTouch stereo pairing are not supported at the moment.
