Beolink3500-Standalone (only MK1 so far)

With the help of this project and AI, I created an ESP32 that simulates an MCL/ML master via PL. With this solution, the trick Menu 004 is not necessary. That means after power off you do not need to open MCL anymore. Theoretically it’s possible to connect several sources and switch between them. In other words you can use Beolab3500 as Soundbar or Standalone Speaker.
