Two Things I Would Add To The Toniebox

The audio box my kids use is a solid product, but I have two wishes on my list for the next generation.

The first is wireless charging on the pad, so putting it down is all it takes. The second is a proper hook into Home Assistant, the open source software I use to tie my house together, so the box could take part in routines instead of standing apart from them.

Neither is exotic. I am simply hoping the manufacturer hears the request.
