The Nabu Casa company, behind Home Assistant's official hardware, released the AUX-2 box that plugs into the 3.5 mm input of any audio equipment with an analog or optical input. It turns the audio equipment into a Music Assistant player, adding smart home features as well. With the AUX-2, any audio equipment can be easily integrated into a smart home, making older speakers perfect for today's smart home systems.",
