‘BabelPod’ hardware workaround brings indirect Bluetooth audio and line-in connectivity to HomePod<div class="feat-image">
</div><p>The
HomePod has great sound, but because it feature no physical inputs, users are limited to either Apple Music or AirPlay sources. It means that there’s no way to connect a home stereo or other source directly to the HomePod via traditional line-in or Bluetooth.</p>
<p>To work around this issue, software architect Andrew Faden hacked together a
line-in and Bluetooth input for HomePod called BabelPod. Based around a $10
Raspberry Pi Zero W and a few other essential parts, Faden created a clever workaround that affords both indirect Bluetooth and line-in connectivity for Apple’s recently-launched wireless speaker. <a href="
