SoundTouch Service

The soundtouch-service is a companion service for Bose SoundTouch devices. It provides:

  • A REST API for device management and discovery.
  • Emulation of Bose backend services (BMX and Marge), allowing devices to work without an active internet connection to Bose servers.
  • A logging proxy for inspecting device communication.
  • A web interface for management.

Installation

go install github.com/gesellix/bose-soundtouch/cmd/soundtouch-service@latest

Running the Service

Simply run the binary:

soundtouch-service

Configuration

The service can be configured via environment variables:

Variable Description Default
PORT Port to bind the service to 8000
BIND_ADDR Network interface to bind to all (ip4 and ip6)
DATA_DIR Directory for persistent data (devices, stats) ./data
SERVER_URL External URL of this service http://<hostname>:8000
REDACT_PROXY_LOGS Set to false to show sensitive data in proxy logs true
LOG_PROXY_BODY Set to true to log full request/reponse bodies false

API Endpoints

Discovery & Setup

  • GET /setup/devices: List all discovered Bose devices.
  • POST /setup/discover: Trigger a new network scan.
  • GET /setup/info/{deviceIP}: Get detailed info for a specific device.
  • POST /setup/migrate/{deviceIP}: Configure a device to use this service as its backend.

BMX (Bose Music eXperience)

  • GET /bmx/registry/v1/services: Service registry for the device.
  • GET /bmx/tunein/v1/playback/station/{stationID}: TuneIn playback bridge.

Marge (Account & Device Management)

  • GET /marge/streaming/sourceproviders: List of available music services.
  • GET /marge/accounts/{account}/full: Mock account information.
  • GET /marge/updates/soundtouch: Mock software update endpoint.

Proxy

  • GET /proxy/{targetURL}: Proxy requests through the service with logging.

Web Interface

Access the management interface at http://localhost:8000/. The interface allows you to view discovered devices and manage their settings.

Persistent Data

By default, the service creates a data/ directory in the current working directory. This directory contains:

  • default/devices/: Configuration and state for each discovered device.
  • usage_stats.json: Logged device usage statistics.
  • error_stats.json: Logged device errors.
