The official cloud-independent rescue plan for your Bose SoundTouch® ecosystem. Total local control, instant discovery, and native hardware features restored.
From a swift, practical remote control for SoundTouch speakers, to an automated turnkey hardware appliance that restores cloud dependent functionality.
Take back full control. The Cube software extends the Tier 1 App to restore creating Stereo Pairs, adding new NAS drives to the system while fully restoring TuneIn Radio streaming. Plus, your 6 physical speaker presets are fully restored. Absolutely no subscriptions, ads, or ongoing costs... EVER!
Want to build it yourself or use an existing server? Download the complete digital setup package to flash a dedicated Pi or install directly into Home Assistant.
Zero technical setup required. Get commercial-grade power right out of the box with our pre-assembled Controller Cube. Simply plug it into your router to get started.

Deploying your Digital Download is a simple, plug-and-play process.
Download your software package. Use BalenaEtcher to flash the Master OS (.img) directly to your MicroSD card.
Leave the flashed MicroSD card plugged into your computer and open it. You will see a file already named license.txt. Open this file, paste your purchased License Key inside, and save.
Insert the MicroSD card into your chosen device (Raspberry Pi or NanoPi). Connect to power and ethernet. Wait 60 seconds for the system to read your key and activate.
Success check: license.txt will automatically rename to license_APPLIED.txt
Open the Controller Pro App on your phone. Navigate to Settings > Network & Speakers, and turn on Auto-Link Speakers. The app will instantly find your unadopted speakers and permanently link them over your Wi-Fi!
Real feedback from SoundTouch owners who rescued their home audio.
"Brought my SoundTouch 10 & 20 back to life instantly! The native Bose cloud servers kept dropping, but Controller Pro’s V8 local network radar locked onto my hardware in under a second. Rock-solid grouping and zero latency."
"Flawless replacement for the dead corporate cloud. The app works perfectly as a local remote, and the hybrid integration with the Rescue Node hardware means no more fighting with aggressive phone battery drops. Saved a £1,200 setup!"
"Incredible support from an independent developer who cares about music. Bypasses the broken corporate setup to deliver instant local speaker discovery, native stereo pairing, and custom stream routing. The definitive fix."
Everything you need to know about our local architecture and hardware fulfillment.
No! Thanks to our Zero-Touch provisioning engine, the Controller Pro app configures all of your speakers 100% over the air. You simply plug the Controller Cube into your router, open the app, and tap 'Auto-Link'.
Yes! If you already run Home Assistant OS or Docker on a local server, Synology NAS, or PC, our Tier 2 Digital Package includes dedicated Home Assistant Add-on files and lightweight container configurations. You can run the Master Node directly within your existing home automation server without purchasing separate physical hardware.
Absolutely. Once a speaker or console is linked to the Cube, it reports directly to your central Controller over Wi-Fi/Ethernet. You can seamlessly group, stereo pair, and stream across standard SoundTouch speakers and legacy Wave or Lifestyle systems simultaneously.
Absolutely none. Controller Pro operates on a strict "buy once, own forever" model. There are no monthly subscriptions, hidden add-ons, or advertising. You pay a one-time fee for the software and/or hardware, and you own your speakers, you no longer rely on outside organisations to keep your system running. The Controller Cube is a one-time purchase.
Unfortunately not, corporate integrations require ongoing developer accounts, proprietary API keys, and expensive ongoing licensing fees. If we built those native plugins, these massive corporations could revoke our keys at any moment, breaking your hardware all over again. By sticking strictly to open local-network standards (UPnP/DLNA) and direct internet radio routing, we ensure nobody can ever shut your speakers down.
Absolutely none. Controller Pro and the Controller Cube are built around a privacy-first, zero-telemetry architecture. No user data, behavioral analytics, crash reports, or diagnostic stats are gathered or transmitted. All system communications occur strictly within your local area network (LAN), meaning neither the app nor the hardware cube requires internet access or contacts external cloud servers to function. Neither device contains third-party analytics SDKs, advertising scripts, spyware, adware, or remote telemetry mechanisms of any kind.
Absolutely. The Controller Cube permanently restores the ability to play a saved radio station (or NAS music file) with a simple press of a physical button. You can also use the original remote controller to select stored presets.
Because we exclusively use Industrial-Grade memory with advanced wear-leveling algorithms, the Controller Cube is engineered to run 24/7 for years without fail. Since your speakers will never receive another firmware update from Bose, nothing will break the connections, our master software never needs to change. According to the silicon lifespan maths, the Controller Cube will likely outlast the physical speakers themselves! (But we obviously cannot guarantee that!)
No. Our logic actively intercepts speaker update requests directed to
/updates/soundtouch and serves a secure, blank software update manifest. This
permanently protects your hardware from breaking corporate overrides.
Not at all. The Controller Cube instantly intercepts preset changes and media drive credentials, saving them permanently to the Cube. Upon reboot, the system force-feeds these settings directly back into physical speaker allowing you to continue from the previous state.
The Controller Cube is a small, low-power microcomputer that runs custom firmware. It replaces the closed Bose cloud server with a local version, directly connected to your home network. It is like having your own private Bose cloud server that you control personally. No personal data is captured, no information leaves your network. There are no 'back doors' or hidden connections. The Cube simply acts as a local bridge between your speakers and your network, restoring many of the features that were lost when the Bose cloud was shut down.
