EEVBlog had a video about mod'ing a dumpster-found Sonos Play 5 into a cloud-free working system. EDIT: Whoops, here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeIk-4ItQ70 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeIk-4ItQ70 They (Sonos) basically willfully attempted to brick their consumer devices, and since many sonos customers were prosumer enthusiasts but not technical (hw or sw) it really did signal EOL for the products. Bananas. I still have a my Play1/3/5 infrastructure operating through Home Assistant and AirBridge that turns them into Airplay devices. It's not perfect but still gives them utility. Considering how much they f'n cost..
