Apollo CAST-1: Turn a regular speaker into a Home Assistant player

We recently added the Apollo CAST-1 Audio Casting to our store, and if you want to turn your non-smart speaker into a smart one to pair with Home Assistant, this is the way to go.

Setup is very simple. I connected 5V power to my CAST-1 and it was quickly detected by my Home Assistant Yellow Bluetooth. After starting the setup via Bluetooth I was prompted to connect the unit to my Wi-Fi, and then there it was, discovered and added to Home Assistant.

I used a 3.5mm cable to connect it to one of my speakers, went to Music Assistant, and there it was among my available players: the CAST-1, ready to go. I selected a song and my regular speaker was playing directly from Home Assistant.

For $34.95, get your dumb home speakers connected to Music Assistant and enjoy!
