“Dining Room” and “Living Room” are just the names of my devices I defined in the Bose Soundtouch App. You can similarly reference the MAC address of the devices to add them to the zone.

don’t clone the repo, just copy the jar file from [org.openhab.binding.bosesoundtouch-dist/org.openhab.binding.bosesoundtouch-2.1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar at master · marvkis/org.openhab.binding.bosesoundtouch-dist · GitHub](https://github.com/marvkis/org.openhab.binding.bosesoundtouch-dist/blob/master/org.openhab.binding.bosesoundtouch-2.1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar) into your addons directory. Then restart Openhab (don’t need to reboot the whole computer). I just added it last night, and that’s all I had to do. After a few minutes, all my SoundTouch devices appeared in the inbox.

Hi @code723,

as long as the openHAB server is on the same network as your speaker the AutoDiscovery should find them automatically and you’ll find them on the inbox…

Is the Bose SoundTouch Binding visible on the bindings list?

Cheers,  
Chris

Just as a heads-up: The code has now moved to [https://github.com/eclipse/smarthome/pull/5397](https://github.com/eclipse/smarthome/pull/5397) and I’ll help driving that to get it merged in the not too far future.

Hi there,

I have the unstable 2.3.0 Snapshot build #1254 an downloaded the bose soundtouch binding. The Binding is not showing up in my Add-ons. Could somebody tell me if the binding is working with my Snapshot Version?

Hi @Sanny,

it seems our dependency configuration has some issues for the current 2.3 snapshot - the dependencies (jetty websocks, …) don’t get resolved as expected. might be related that this is installed via the addons folder - didn’t have the time to dig into int yet.  
but there is a workaround: Just execute

```auto
feature:install openhab-httpclient

```

or install the openhab-httpclient feature through the GUI. This feature will install all required dependencies and the Bose SoundTouch binding starts to work…

Cheers,  
Chris

Hi Chris,

I installed through the GUI the http binding, but I still not get the bose binding shown. Any other Idea?

Thank you

Good news: Since snapshot build #1264, the Bose SoundTouch binding is part of the official distro!

Could one of you please report this as an issue at [GitHub · Where software is built](https://github.com/eclipse/smarthome/issues)? Thanks!

So all these NPE should be fixed now.  
The problem with the SoundTouch 300 may be related to some other problems, The main problem with the 300 is, that we did not have a device when we implemented the binding, but only some logs form users.

I’m on holydays at the moment, but i’ll have a look when i’m back
