BoseFix32 — your SoundTouch preset buttons, back from the dead
On May 6, 2026 Bose shut down the SoundTouch cloud. The hardware still works, but the 1–6 preset buttons on every SoundTouch 10/20/30 went silent overnight — and since the firmware is frozen, no update from Bose will ever fix that.
BoseFix32 is a small open-source project that turns a 5 € ESP32 stick into a local replacement for the Bose cloud. It speaks just enough of the BMX protocol that your speakers keep working — on your own LAN, with no account, no subscription, and no Bose servers involved.
Plug an ESP32 into USB, open the web flasher in Chrome or Edge, hand over your WiFi credentials, and the stick auto-discovers every SoundTouch speaker on your network and migrates them. Presets are preserved (TuneIn stations included). It then keeps an eye on the LAN and picks up newcomers automatically.
