check the Bang & Olufsen app, where you can configure the speaker. I can see you can activate Google Cast there, I suppose that could enable adding it to Home. I’m not sure since I’m not using it within Google Home.

great!!

I guess you’ll still have to do a factory reset, but you can do it from the panel now 🙂

I’m not sure it will remove the IP – but I’m far from being a network expert 🙂

I would try the factory reset (with the small button under the speaker – I don’t know about the top wheel button) and do the full procedure as described in the PDF.

Hey,

you need to hold one of the small button under the speaker for a good 2 min before it resets (the button closer to the center).

 

Alternatively, if your speaker is still on your home’s wifi, you can access the M5 control panel by accessing the IP address of the speaker as defined by your router.

Not sure how to retrieve this IP in your setup though… On my side, I have an app that allows me to control my internet box and router and where I could read the IPs of all the connected devices on my wifi.

FALSE ALARM

I worked it around. I’m no network engineer, but I understood how to access the panel once the device was online (basically found the IP of the M5 attributed by my box). I did the procedure end-to-end and it works !

Thanks again retroactively for all the previous discussion!!!!!

Hello Everyone,

I’m reviving this thread as it finally helped me understand the issue of my own M5.

I’ve been using it over Airplay all this time by default, but my wife being on Android is limited in its usage for years now…

I’ve tried to follow the special procedure set forth in the PDF, but I’m facing a direct problem: when I access the control panel of the M5, it invariably takes me to 192.168.1.1/index.fcgi#Fts/Network where I have to set up the Wifi, and then, once done, my PC looses connection to the device.

I’ve tried repeatedly to force the URL to /Settings but I’m not passing the Network gateway.

I’m helpless, it drives me nuts 🙂

Anyone knows how I can work this around?

Many many thanks in advance!
