    I am pretty sure I’m not confused. I want to group zones together so they can be used in automation triggers and I can change the group’s membership and not have to change every automation trigger. The group’s state should indicate the number of person entities that were in any zone in the group.

    I’m not talking about areas at all.

    Just to be clear, I don’t believe grouping zones is currently possible. It’s just a want I have.

    Like when you create a zone, it’s a circle. It has a radius. I want a zone that is an arbitrary shape, so I compose it out of several smaller zones. I want to formally make it a single zone in Home Assistant by grouping them. Currently you can’t add zones to groups or create a zone with type: group or anything like that.










  • I currently use AntennaPod with NextCloud’s version of GPodderSync; which is…adequate.

    My ultimate solution would be one where a self-hosted app that tracks and download my podcasts, and then proxy them with some sync mechanism to an android app, but keep them as separate shows with artwork and stuff rather than consolidate them into one feed. I could then choose to listen on the self-hosted web interface or the Android app, and they would be kept in sync.



  • I maintain a Jellyfin instance for audio that points at the same music library as my Navidrome instance does just so I can use the Jellyfin client for Android TV. I would absolutely LOVE to have a subsonic-compatible Android-TV-focused app, so I could finally single-source my music. It’s just not friendly to guests to have them have to log in somewhere using their own device to my music server and then have to cast to my main entertainment system at home, when Android TV is just sitting there, acting as nothing more than an old-school Chromecast.

    So, don’t get me wrong, Jellyfin is THE BEST video server software FOSS or not, IMO :)
