Bluetooth Prerelease

[linknum23]

This pre-release adds Bluetooth support via an external Bluetooth USB adapter (see Tested Hardware).

Playing audio

1. Set one of the sources to the Bluetooth stream input
2. Pair and connect your device to amplipi (the hostname of your AmpliPi)
3. Play some audio out your device

Notes

• Only one Bluetooth stream can be played at once
• a Bluetooth streams are created automatically (if hardware is present on reset)

Tested Hardware

• ZEXMTE Long Range USB Bluetooth Adapter.
  • Installation: plug into a USB port on the back of the unit and reset AmpliPi (⚙->Configuration and Reset->reset)

Other USB Bluetooth adapters

Other USB Bluetooth adapters may need drivers to be installed. We have not tested this.

Thanks

Bluetooth support was made possible by a very functional prototype from kjkoning's amplipi-bluetooh-example. Thanks again @kjk2010!
