Not every device needs replacing just because it missed the smart home revolution. That old stereo gathering dust might still sound better than your shiny new wireless speaker, while your TV or heating system could be perfectly capable of following commands without an internet connection. Home Assistant wants to bridge that gap with a new accessory that gives yesterday’s technology a place in today’s connected home.
The new Home Assistant Connect AUX-2 is a multi-purpose accessory from Nabu Casa, the company behind official Home Assistant hardware. Rather than adding yet another gadget to your home, Connect AUX-2 is designed to make better use of the ones you already own, bringing older audio systems, TVs, solar equipment, and more into an existing Home Assistant setup.
