Can the Beoremote One control Bluesound or BluOS players?

Not on its own. There is no official integration between Bang & Olufsen and BluOS. With a bridge in between, such as Home Assistant or a dedicated bridge like Lydbro One, the Beoremote One can control BluOS playback, volume, presets, and grouping across Bluesound, NAD, and DALI players.

Which brands use BluOS?

BluOS is the streaming platform used by Bluesound, NAD Electronics, and DALI loudspeakers, all part of the Lenbrook group. A bridge that speaks BluOS can control any of them.

Do I need Home Assistant to control BluOS with the Beoremote One?

No. Home Assistant is one route and works well if you already run it. A dedicated bridge like Lydbro One controls BluOS players directly on the local network, with no Home Assistant or extra computer required.

Beoremote One + Bluesound

Use your Bang & Olufsen remote to control BluOS players from Bluesound, NAD, and DALI.

The Beoremote One is a beautiful remote, but Bang & Olufsen never designed it to talk to BluOS, the platform behind Bluesound, NAD, and DALI. There is no official integration between them. The good news: with a bridge in the middle, the Beoremote One can drive BluOS playback, volume, presets, and grouping. This guide covers the realistic ways to do it.

Beoremote One remote used to control a Bluesound BluOS system

First, the honest part: there is no official B&O to BluOS link

Bang & Olufsen and BluOS are separate ecosystems. Every method below works the same way: something pairs with the Beoremote One, listens for its button presses, and sends the matching command to your BluOS players. Helpfully, BluOS has a documented local control API, communicated over simple HTTP requests, which is what makes both the DIY and the direct-bridge routes possible.

Option 1: Via Home Assistant

Home Assistant has an official Bluesound integration that auto-discovers your players and controls playback, volume, and grouping locally, including join and unjoin for zones. If you already run Home Assistant, get the Beoremote One's buttons into it first (see our Beoremote One + Home Assistant guide), then map those button events to BluOS actions. A good route if you have the pieces, though it needs a Home Assistant server plus a way to get the remote into it.

Option 2: Roll your own over Bluetooth

Because BluOS exposes a documented HTTP control API, a small always-on computer such as a Raspberry Pi can pair with the Beoremote One and talk to your Bluesound, NAD, or DALI players directly, no Home Assistant required. This is the most flexible route. The trade-off is that you handle the Bluetooth pairing, wire up the BluOS API calls, and keep the service running.

Option 3: A plug-and-play bridge (Lydbro One)

If you would rather not build anything, Lydbro One controls BluOS players directly, no Home Assistant or extra computer involved. It pairs with the Beoremote One over Bluetooth and speaks BluOS on the local network, so the remote works across Bluesound, NAD, and DALI. You can also choose what appears on the remote's display, from player names to presets and playlists. It is configured from a built-in web UI, runs locally, and updates over the air.

What you can control

Play, pause, and skip tracks
Volume and mute
Recall presets
Group and ungroup players
Switch inputs and sources
Via Home Assistant, trigger any automation alongside the music

Which option is right for you?

You already run Home Assistant with Bluesound: route the remote through HA.
You enjoy building with a Raspberry Pi and the BluOS API: roll your own bridge.
You want it to just work, with no server to maintain: Lydbro One.
