Very cool. Trying to not buy it because I already have many projects to finish around the house first.

ESP32-S3 does not support LE Audio or classic Bluetooth A2DP. I wonder how the speaker box is streaming audio, online stream only?

This video says it can be used to play from a phone connection as a wireless DLNA speaker. Don't exactly know what it does.

Yep I expect this to be used primarily as e.g. an Amazon echo or Google speaker. Generally you "cast" to those instead of directly connecting via Bluetooth

I'd be really surprised if you can use this as a Google Nest - they do provide a library for it but it's pretty severely gimped - no wake word, no alarms or timers, no new or podcasts, no music streaming.

Kind of infuriating - all I want is a 3.5mm stereo output, is that too much to ask Google?
