Making complex things simple is not easy for the elderly

 

Scenario- elderly mother wants to listen to music, and about the max we can teach her is Hey Siri, play music “

 

Pushing buttons on speaker , re connecting blue tooth - forget it

 

Just looked at B&O, JBL and many brand brands , after turning off Bluetooth, and turn on again, need to manually reconnect

 

Looking for a speaker which is always on standby and auto reconnects w iPhone when she gets home

 

Advice appreciated

More likely to be a problem with Apple than Bluetooth. Both my iPhone and Android can connect with my car's Bluetooth seamlessly.  Maybe Apple doesn't understand Danish!!!!!!

How about trying Google Home or Sonos Play.

Connects to WIFI and are always connected.

Voice control or use her phone.

Was thinking google home , but songs are free cause just another family share

Believe it or not, I have one of these 180 baht decoders plugged into the in of my $500 Bose unit (which I obtained for $100 - it's good but not $500 good) on the terrace:

Works perfectly, always reconnects with the old iPad we use for outdoor music (another Facebook marketplace bargain) and no sound degradation that I can notice.

Would work the same with *any* speaker that has line in (pretty much all of them). Worth a try at that price.

Thanks .. will try

 

Does it auto connect or need to go to settings to connect BT Everytime ?

I can't guarantee it will do so, but it does for me, yes - need to pair it the first time you connect - pin was 0000 in case it isn't mentioned in the box.

IIRC it auto pairs with the last paired device when it comes back in range.

Worth a punt at 180 baht.

Perfect - will try

Looks like need to get the soldering iron out and hook it up to power ? 

 

how many volts?

 

 

No soldering required - you need a generic micro USB cable and something to plug it into like one of these (this is both cable and adaptor - everything you need) https://www.lazada.co.th/products/universal-5v-2a-us-plug-wall-charger-adapter-micro-usb-1-i207874475-s312941618.html

I can't remember whether mine came with one or not - I'd have immediately recognised the slot though and just plugged it into one I already have, so quite possible it didn't and I just went onto autopilot. It's quite possible you have one lying around, loads of devices use them, I have about 50 of them ???? it plugs in to the top right bit of the photo you posted, above the C11 

 

Finally got it working - thanks - yes , auto connects
