With the outages this week I have decided to revisit synchronized multiroom audio. The important feature for me is that it needs to utilize the “cast” button within the Spotify/Tidal/etc apps because that’s what my family uses.
Does anything exist other than the chromecast audio pucks?
I’ve seen some interesting development with Music Assistant but I haven’t personally used it. It’s not sure if it can be commanded using the cast button.
Music assistant is indeed cool and can do multi-room, but you have to go to it specifically first.
Yeah, they have a spotify connect plugin that works, but chromecast probably will not be supporter because google holds all of the cast keys and esphome/music assistant/ home assistant would have to register with them (and probably play the fees) i think
Dang OK thanks yeah we need all apps (Tidal, BandCamp, Pocketcasts etc) not just Spotify.
