I’m running two Bose Soundtouch 10 at home and they work perfectly fine with Homeassistant. There is just one feature I am missing: The possibility to turn on the speakers Bluetooth mode. Sadly this feature is not mentioned in the docs. That way I could use emulated_hue to tell Alexa to switch on the speaker, turn on Bluetooth and connect Alexa to it. Right now I always have to press the button on the speaker.
Sometimes you should not make life too difficult. As it turned out Bose speakers automatically switches to Bluetooth mode when a previously paired device connects to it. You can simply say “Alexa, connect Bluetooth” and the speakers start talking with Alexas voice.
