Home Assistant AUX-2: $69 Box Makes Old Gear Smart
Nabu Casa has launched the Home Assistant Connect AUX-2, a $69 multi-tool that brings older speakers, TVs, and serial-controlled gear into a modern smart home. With lossless audio output, two RS-232 ports, a Bluetooth proxy, and USB hosting for Z-Wave and Zigbee radios, the deck-of-cards-sized box is built to keep the devices you already own useful for years.
