SUMMARY

Connecting two slave devices to a single Bluetooth device is feasible through a Piconet, which supports up to 7 active slave devices and 255 additional inactive devices. Users can create custom remotes that connect to their phones while audio is playing, even when connected to Bluetooth speakers. However, the feasibility of designing a custom remote versus purchasing an off-the-shelf solution varies, with both options available depending on user requirements.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Bluetooth technology and Piconets
  • Basic knowledge of Bluetooth device pairing and connectivity
  • Familiarity with remote control design principles
  • Experience with audio streaming over Bluetooth
NEXT STEPS
  • Research Bluetooth Piconet architecture and its limitations
  • Explore Bluetooth remote control design and development
  • Investigate existing Bluetooth remote control products on the market
  • Learn about audio streaming protocols and their integration with Bluetooth devices
USEFUL FOR

Electronics hobbyists, Bluetooth developers, audio engineers, and anyone interested in creating or using Bluetooth remote controls for smartphones and audio devices.

2 slave devices to one system??
(3 TOTAL devices)

Yes, this is called a Piconet, which allows up to 7 active slave devices and 255 additional inactive (parked) slave devices.

More specifically, can I create my own remote which connects to my phone while its playing on its own or while its connected to speakers or something?

Are you asking if you can make one of your own design, or to buy one of the shelf? I think the answers are yes and no.
