The Cloud is Dead. Your Speakers Live On. Controller Pro is the ultimate, cloud-independent smart home hub designed specifically for your legacy SoundTouch speakers. As official cloud servers shut down or become unreliable, Controller Pro steps in to save your premium hardware from becoming e-waste. We communicate directly with your speakers over your local Wi-Fi network—no accounts, no cloud dependencies, and zero lag. IMPORTANT TRANSPARENCY NOTE: Due to the permanent shutdown of Bose's internet radio servers, the speaker hardware can no longer play live radio on its own. Our built-in Web Radio feature requires a Bluetooth connection to your speaker. The app fetches the station to your phone and casts the audio over. All other features (Volume, Grouping, NAS, Spotify) work flawlessly over your Wi-Fi! KEY FEATURES: Lightning-Fast Local Wi-Fi Control: Bypass sluggish cloud servers for instant volume adjustment, grouping, and source switching via our custom "Anti-Jam" network protocol. Local NAS & Media Streaming: Seamlessly browse and play music from your existing local network DLNA/UPnP media servers and PC libraries directly through your speakers. Built-In Web Tuner: Continue listening to global internet radio directly through the app (via Bluetooth), entirely bypassing broken native TuneIn integrations. Hardware Presets & Recents: Map your favorite local NAS folders or albums directly to the physical 1-6 buttons on top of your speaker. (Note: Due to hardware limits, physical buttons only support local NAS media, not web radio). Stereo Pair Support: Full native control compatibility for speakers (like ST-10s) that have already been bound into dedicated Left and Right audio channels. The Pro Zone Mixer: Flawless multi-room audio. Group your speakers (ST10, ST20, Soundbars) and sync relative volume levels across your entire home instantly. Multi-Room Snapshots (Scenes): Capture the exact state of your home's audio set-up and deploy it later with a single tap. Deep Hardware Controls: Dynamically adjust Bass, Auto-Off standby timers, and OLED clock settings (ST20/ST30) using true Read-Modify-Write hardware commands. Smart Spotify Handoff: Launch directly into your last-played Spotify Connect session with a single tap. Future-Proof Your Audio. Whether you own a SoundTouch 10, 20, 30, or a Soundbar, Controller Pro ensures your premium audio ecosystem remains fast, reliable, and entirely under your control. (Note: This app is an independent, community-driven project and is not affiliated with Bose Corporation. Requires your speakers to be on the same local Wi-Fi network as your phone/tablet).
