Hi everyone,
First off, thank you for building such an awesome community! I’ve been a silent reader for a long time, and today I’d like to give back—even if it’s only useful for a small subset of people.
Because the official Dual CS-529 app is unintuitive (no auto-connect, a cluttered device list, awkward scrolling), I reverse-engineered the BLE protocol and created a clean ESPHome + Home Assistant integration, complete with custom Lovelace tiles.
Now you can even start your turntable from your smartwatch (which I thought was silly at first, but now use all the time! ).
Everything is up on GitHub:
Let me know what you think!
