Kristian BuckhøjOkay, so my engineer brain went down a rabbit hole….
There was at some point something called an ML Gateway, which allowed you to control ML device via the network. Sort of Beo intelligens but earlier. To add to this someone as made an Home Assistant (HASIO) integration, which allows you to control it via HASIO. This could be way cooler than my Chromecast audio streamer with some weird cable solution that might not work…..Also I do use HASIO so… I Have attached the ML gateway Installation guide and here is the HASIO integration
Also Someone has made a hat for a raspberry pi for controlling ML/MCL device. They also have some documentation for how the data signals look like. Check this link.
With this in mind, it could be possible to make a streamer which and wake and play music on the beolab 3500 using an ESP32. NICE!
I’m unfortunately not good at programming, so I might start with looking at the ML Gateway.
