Sorry to bring bad news, but you may be in trouble with Bose as well: https://lwn.net/Articles/775238/ https://lwn.net/Articles/775238/ The talk is about how the Smart Speaker 500 cloud infrastructure works. Every button press gets sent to the cloud over websocket, and the device's state is shadowed in a Cassandra cluster. Even the current volume setting. I just checked the manual and it says you can disable Wifi or Bluetooth, but that if you disable both networks the device goes into standby. Maybe if someone owns one of these they can chime in if there's some way to use the app without it phoning home? Even if there's a workaround for now, the way they're architecting makes clear the direction they're headed.
