What do you need?

How does it work?

  • When tapping a command button (for instance “PLAY”), MyURemote sends the command to your controller.
  • The controller (fi Global Cache itach IP2SL) addresses its serial port and passes your command to the Bose lifestyle.
  • The command is executed by the Bose or forwards it to the connected device (via the Bose IR eye).

How do I connect my Bose with my tablet or smartphone? Physcial connection

Lifestyle 18, 28, 38, 48, V30 and V40 connections:

    Dear Sirs,

    I bought your app MyURemote with the intention to control my home theater system and other devices, which are:
    • BOSE LIFESTYLE 525 serie II
    • APPLE TV 4th generation (IP address in my network 192.168.15.20)
    • TV SAMSUNG (IP address in my network 192.168.15.70)
    • BLUE RAY PLAYER SAMSUNG (IP address in my network 192.168.15.27)

    Following the instructions in your website, I also bought the controller GLOBAL CACHE Itach WF2SL + flex cable DB9 – 3.5mm jack, which is connected into the DATA input of the Bose device.
    The Itach has the following IP address in my network: 192.168.15.41)

    All devices are connected to the same network called: Mello

    Unfortunately, via app MyURemote I can´t control anything.
    Please could you help me to identify what is wrong with the configuration of the app?

    Thank you
    Everton

    • Danny Verdegem (MyURemote) January 23, 2019 at 12:36 pm #

      Hello Everton, do you receive any debug message on top of your remote display?

      • Everton January 23, 2019 at 12:39 pm #

        Hi Danny,
        No messages, and no control.
        I powered on the Bose and TV via the physical remote control, and then tried the app.
        I could not power off/on the Bose via app (although the amplifier button gets green/red as you see below), and neither change the input to FM.

        • Danny Verdegem (MyURemote) January 23, 2019 at 12:44 pm #

          You don’t receive any debug message:
          – Unplug your Global Caché controller from power supply for 30 seconds.
          – check if your serial cable is connected with the DATA input of the Bose console, not the IR output!

          • Everton January 23, 2019 at 12:45 pm #

            Problem solved!!! Thank you very much!!!!

  2. Eric Gilley July 1, 2018 at 3:26 am #

    Does the Bose Soundtouch 130 home theatre system need the GC100 or other rs232 controller to work with the myuremote app? I have the Bose system in a comm closet so IR doesn’t work through line of sight with the OEM remote. Will the GC100 controller work the same way (needs line of sight)?

    • Danny Verdegem (MyURemote) July 2, 2018 at 2:30 pm #

      All Bose Soundtouch systems support IP control. So it is only necessary to use a GC100 if you also want to control other IR devices with MyURemote.
      GC100 an of course IP control do not need line of sight.

  3. Graeme Conijn February 26, 2018 at 5:08 am #

    Hi can you please confirm that it is possible to control ode LS650 Bose Soundtouch 300 and SA 5 amplifiers and if so what is the recommended interface for that thanks Regards Graeme

    • Danny Verdegem (MyURemote) February 27, 2018 at 12:04 pm #

      MyURemote supports the lifestyle 650 and SA5 amps. Once the app is running MyURemote will discover your Bose soundtouch devices.
      Note that you will have to install the latest software upgrade for the Bose lifestyle 600 and lifestyle 650 as the original API’s do not support HDMI control.

    I have a Bose Lifestyle AV38 (2006) connected to 3 rooms using SA-3 amplifiers. I’m not yet using myURemote, but I’ve connected to the serial connection via an IP-to-Serial adapter and the appropriate cable. My original intention was to integrate the control of my AV38 into my homegrown home-automation system. Using puTTY I can issue commands to the AV38 and it responds appropriately. The ETAP greeting is “ETAP Interface V1.8 [n] (C) 2003 Bose Corporation.” The AV38 responds to the KP command as expected, but I don’t see a way to control the other rooms (turn them on and off, change the volume, or change the input source. Will myURemote let me control the other rooms on the SA-3s without using any additional hardware (like an IR extender)? I don’t want to buy the app without knowing it’s going to do what I want it to do.

    Thanks for any info you can provide.

    • Danny Verdegem (MyURemote) December 12, 2017 at 8:55 am #

      Yes it is possible to use MyURemote to control yuor AV38 and the 3 SA3 amps. What ip to serial controller are you using at this moment?

      • Jeff December 12, 2017 at 4:50 pm #

        It’s a Sena LS110 (left over from an older project).

        I’ll give your app a try and let you know if I have any issues. Thanks.

        • Danny Verdegem (MyURemote) December 13, 2017 at 10:48 am #

          You must set the Baudrate of the controller = 19200 8N1
          What communication port does the controller use? Can I have your account settings so I can check your configuration? Mail to danny@verdegem.com

  5. David Morriss December 7, 2017 at 7:16 pm #

    Will this app control a Bose lifestyle 28 series III?

    • Danny Verdegem (MyURemote) December 7, 2017 at 7:17 pm #

      what is the exact model of your Bose console? AV18 or AV28. AV18 consoles are compatible (AV28 are not!). You can find the model on the bottom of the console.
      Normally, al lifestyle 28 > 2003 are compatible.

    I talked to Bose technical support and verified the V20/V30 supports Zone O. I currently have the V20 set up with Zone O on my boat and it works with the original Bose remote RCV1T-27 and RC48S2-27. I have a spreadsheet showing which button functions work on Zone O with the original Bose remotes. Any suggestions on adding this functionality to MyURemote? Volume up/down?

    • Danny Verdegem (MyURemote) May 19, 2017 at 5:58 pm #

      The commandsset for zone O for Lifestyle 18-48 and V20, V30 are submitted. Those for Lifestyle T10 – V535 were already available

      Special adapters have been designed that convert the 9-pin Bose link connection to a single pair of stereo RCA cables which can interface with most products. There are two types of adapters available – a Fixed version and a Variable version. The Fixed version taps into the two pins responsible for carrying fixed stream 2 audio (pins 3 and 4). The Variable version taps into pins that carry a variable version of stream 2 audio (pins 1 and 2). These variable outputs enable volume control via the Bose link expansion remote, but require the destination system to be set to maximum volume. Another disadvantage to using one of these adapters is that the expansion room will be restricted to stream 2 audio only since they never touch the stream 1 signal (pins 5 and 9)

    Hello, I was able to connect by bose lifestyle to the cache controller and thus control my bose, however I don,t know how to configure my directv box to be able to control it too. Help please, how can I do this?

    • Danny Verdegem (MyURemote) April 14, 2017 at 9:21 am #

      hi Jose,
      is the directv box connected with your network? If so, myuremote discovered and added this automatically to your configuration.
      Open the zone configuration, assign the directv box to the input of your bose system and done.

      If you need more help, let me know your myuremote username and password via danny@myuremote.com so I can do that for you.

      yes you can use this controller instead of a Global Caché model. note you’ll have to edit the connection parameter. This will be “ser1” but you have to change this to “ser0”.

    Hello, how to configure my samsung F9000, 65-inch tv with bose v25 and myuremote, so turn it on and turn off.

    • Robert December 6, 2014 at 1:16 pm #

      Hi, Can anyone help please, I have followed the instructions to connect myuremote to a 2004 Bose Lifestyle48 with a VS-2 connected and I have exactly the same Ground Loop Isolator as shown in the instructions below (NS-20). So the config is Global Cache iTach WiFi connected using serial DB9-3.5mm. I can get the myuremote to work without the ground loop isolator connected (but I get the VS-2 not found message). When I connect the Ground loop isolator to both red and white, neither the VS-2 or the myuremote works. I have tried only connecting the isolator between either the red line, or the white line, but nothing works when the ground loop isolator is incorporated. Is it possible that I have a faulty NS-20 isolator, or is there a generic problem which I need to address. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

      • Danny Verdegem (MyURemote) December 7, 2014 at 3:22 pm #

        did you read this (password = RS232): http://www.myuremote.com/website/rs232-communication-problem-with-bose-lifestyle/
        also watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0htpgXVqeIU&feature=youtu.be

        • Robert December 8, 2014 at 8:53 pm #

          Yes, it was on the basis of the description and video that I bought the equipment and the app. I configured it exactly as described and shown, it didn’t recognise the VS-2 or work (the system only worked when neither the VS-2 and the Isolator were connected). Then I tried other combinations where only the send line went through the ground loop isolator and another with only the receive line through the isolator.
          The Lifestyle 48 system loses connection with the VS-2 whenever the ground loop isolator is connected (even with nothing connected to it). It also loses communication with the VS-2 when the Global Cache serial adapter is connected.
          I have exactly the same equipment as shown except I am using a wifi to serial as opposed to an Ethernet to serial adapter.
          Any more help would be appreciated.

    Hello,

    Any insight on why i am unable to pass through Apple TV to ZONE B (HDMI3 input), unless it is acive on ZONE A.

    Many thanks

    Ian

    • Danny Verdegem (MyURemote) October 23, 2014 at 11:34 am #

      Hi Ian, seams that the audio stream of the HDMI is also available via the Bose link when the source is active on the main zone.
      A solution is to use a Digital/analog convertor and contect then th analog out to the Analog Bose Link input above the HDMI input on the Bose console.

    • Wim December 6, 2014 at 2:52 pm #

      Hello Ian,

      I am facing the same problem. I can’t pass the apple TV (music) to ZONE B when the main zone (zone A) isactive on another source.
      I must say I didn’t understand the explanation here-under. Did you fix it, and if so, how?
      Thanks,
      Wim

      • Danny Verdegem (MyURemote) December 7, 2014 at 3:06 pm #

        Hi Wim,
        as the Bose Lifestyle console only streams digital signals to the second zone when the main zone is playing it, you have to connect also the analog output. I know Apple TV hase only HDMI out and SPDIF, so you have to use a DAC (digital to Analog convertor) when you want to listen to Apple TV in the other rooms, different than the main. Apple Airport express has a digital and analog out.

  15. Lee September 12, 2014 at 12:25 am #

    I am setting up a system for use on a boat, where there is no internet connection. I have it operating in the shop with the internet. Can I now take it to the boat where it will no longer be on the internet. The app on the iPad appeared to become unresponsive with no internet when I tried it at the shop. I am assuming it wants to be connected with the cloud at all times. Can it operate without the cloud, once setup?

    • MyURemote October 23, 2014 at 11:32 am #

      Hi Lee,

      once the settings are loaded, MyURemote only needs a network, with or without internet connection.

  16. Lee September 3, 2014 at 6:58 am #

    Is there a workaround for the problem where the serial port is already in use by the HDMI expander on a lifestyle 28/38/48 type system, as there is only one serial port. I would have to confirm if the expander only receives serial data, if it does not transmit it may work with the receive connections from the Global Cache and expander in parallel, and transmit only connected to the global cache.

    Bonjour,

    Donc un seul contrôleur IP2SL (RJ45/RS232) connecté uniquement à la console lifestyle 525, peut contrôler individuellement les cinq SA3 de chacune des 5 zones?

    Si oui, alors ce système est formidable.
    Où puis-je faire l’acquisition de contrôleur et logiciel?

    Thanks Ernesto

    • Danny Verdegem (MyURemote) December 29, 2013 at 10:25 am #

      hi Ernesto, normally a IP2SL will do, but when you want also to power on/of your TV with your iPad (Samsung does not support power ctrl via LAN) you need a GC100/6 (= Serial RS232 for Bose and all other devices, and IR for Power ON TV).

  24. Michael October 28, 2013 at 9:47 pm #

    This app offers a great alternative for Bose multiroom with SA2 and SA3!

    As a multiroom/home theatre integrator (especially Bose lifestyle systems) I recommend this app highly! To control the lifestyle or video wave in the main zone I use a Global Caché controller, for the other rooms I use IP control with Pioneer vsx922, Yamaha, denon, etc…instead of SA amps.
    So the whole setup is controlled with one GUI, one app, one remote! The ideal alternative for the obsolete SA2 and SA3.
    And even better: also streaming, spotify, airplay,… is possible. So you can access analog, digital and streaming sources. Another unique point why this app is my first choice is the fact that once you’re familiar with the online configuration panel one can setup a whole multiroom/multiroom setup within minutes.
    Great app guys!!!

    • Packy December 20, 2013 at 4:59 pm #

      I just replaced my Bose Lifestyle 48 home theater media center system (worked great for audio but had obsolete video connections) with the new Lifestyle 525 home theater system. I had expanded the 48 System to power outside speakers via Boselink cable (ugly but effective when wire,ESA Bose link did not work). I went to update the link to the new 525 system and was told by Bose support that the new 525 media center is not expandable to the SA-3 with Boselink. Oh no, that is disappointing! I just lost use of my remote speakers. Anybody else have this problem and fixes? Is it time to ditch the all powerful SA-3 amp? I will miss the 100w per channel.

      Thanks,
      Packy

      • Danny Verdegem (MyURemote) December 20, 2013 at 8:26 pm #

        Hi Packy,
        With MyURemote it is still possible to use the Boselink on your new lifestyle 525 and your SA3 amps!
        Note that the official Bose “customer support service” supports MyURemote as multiroom/multisource solution with Boselink.

  25. Luke October 5, 2013 at 8:33 am #

    Hi,

    Looking for a bit of help. I have a Bose V35 set up as the main unit through an ITach WF2SL and it works really well. Where i am having the issues is that i have an SA3 also connected to the V35 for speakers outside of which i have not been able to get to work to date. Can you please advise on what the amplifier/ device setup should be.

    Thanks

    Luke

    • MyURemote October 6, 2013 at 6:49 pm #

      hi Luke,

      you simply need to repeat the configuration of the main room but with a new device: “Lifestyle V25, V35 Zone B”.

      regards,

  26. Adi September 22, 2013 at 6:12 pm #

    Hi

    I was told by a dealer that a Flex serial cable won’t work with the IP2SL unit due to a conflicting chip in the cable. Do I really need both cables? Flex and the serial to minijack cables?

    • MyURemote September 29, 2013 at 7:56 pm #

      The iTach Flex serial cable ends with a DB9 connector with some electronics inside. So the cable is part of the RS232 controller and needs the same DB9 to mini-jack cable for use with the Bose lifestyle systems.

      In your Bose settings you must set up an input for your TV so you can watch analog or smart and control it with your Bose remote. Then the commands will be known by your Bose lifestyle. On MyURemote then use the MORE button to power on or off your television.

    Hey,

    A bose lifestyle 28 II has also the option to send IR commands to devices. So this setup will be kept?

    my setup is

    Living room : Bose Lifestyle 28 II with Telenet Digicorder (sat tv) controlled by IR commands by bose center + WD Live TV also by IR commands by bose center + SAMSUNG smart tv also by IR commands by bose center (can be directly controlled through network by iphone)
    + Wireless AL8

    Kitchen: Bose AR1 receiver + BOSE SA-2 amplifier + bose speakers
    Bedroom: Bose AR1 receiver + BOSE SA-3 amplifier + bose speakers + samsung smart tv (can be directly controlled through network by iphone)
    Bathroom: Bose AR1 receiver + Bose Roommate

    If this al could be done with 1 Ipad … then i’m excited, i just have to rewire my living room to delete the VS-video enhancer who takes up the serial data input)

    So you can stream your music from your ipad to every source, what about media who is on a Network Attached Storage (WD Live book)?

    We already mailed but some questions were unanswered, and my setup could be usefull for others… Great app!

      Hello Sammy, all your devices, rooms, etc… can be configured in one MyURemote interface: use for each zone a tab and select in accordance the tab for the zone you want to control.

      About your hardware setup: when you have a bose lifestyle system it’s obvious to let the bose center control all your IR devices. Then you only need a serial controller (like GlobalCaché) iTach IP2SL to control your bose, all the rooms and all the devices connected with your bose center.

      success!

    Is it possible to use a mini hifi system I already have, as extra zone with a Bose lifestyle. I’d like to use my current system (a Teac CR-H238i with USB, SD, iPod connection and CD player) as amplifier for my kitchen and poolhouse. Can I control this with the same myremote interface? Do I need extra hardware?

    • myURemote January 15, 2013 at 9:25 pm #

      With MyURemote you can use just about any existing amplifier as extra zone system. The interface for the extra room(s) looks the same so it’s like your using the same system for both zones. Note that most (older) systems only operate with IR. Therefore it is better to purchase a GC100/6 as controller which you can you as well for your Bose serial connection as for your other 2nd IR system.

        works great now. I use the GC100/6 as controller with my Bose T20.
        One small problem: I also use the Teac build-in tuner for my Bose zone. But when I call the FM Radio sometimes I get AM-radio.

        • myURemote January 16, 2013 at 7:57 am #

          Using a system with IR is not ideal. For example your problem with switching to TUNER can result in AM instead of FM. IP controlled receivers (fi Pioneer) do not need a IR controller and give feedback. Then you can visualise with MyURemote your whole multiroom-multisource system.
          But, and the Bose dealers will like to hear, the best solution is of course using Bose SA2 and SA3 amps combined with a Bose lifestyle V-serie.

    I have a Bose T20 and would like to use this. Could the. ITach
    IP2IR be used instead of the IP2SL?

    • myURemote December 23, 2012 at 11:06 am #

      Bose Lifestyle systems use serial (RS232) communication. This means that you need a Global Cache controller like the itach IP2SL or GC100. The key advantage of serial controllable devices is that they provide additional feedback because the serial connection is bi-directional. And that is not possible via infrared controllers like IP2IR.

    Where did you get the cable? I’ve followed the instructions to a T can not get it to work. Can you give me any advice?

    Thanks! Great tutorial. I use myURemote with my Bose V25 and iTach WF2SL. Works great!
