This should be a legal requirement for being allowed to sell networked devices.

Bose open-sources its SoundTouch home theater smart speakers ahead of end-of-life

If companies insist on bricking gadgets, this is a better way to do it.

@tante The beautiful irony here consists of all the following good, and more:
1. This is #recycleMode in all the ways Sonos's so-called recycle mode wasn't. And that's a good thing.
2. Anyone with the chops can build a permanently accessible native app around this api.
Which would give users who can obtain this speaker set used in the not-too-distant future a viable, opensource and accessible wireless audio setup. Up yours, Sonos!
