Music on Group #48

Open codevApp opened 5 years ago

codevApp commented 5 years ago

Hi,

to start music on one device is working but not on a group /multiroom. Can you fix this?

Note: there was an unrelated bug in the music command, please update to 3.2.6

These nodes can only do what the alexa app/browser can do so it doesn't work if you select a multi room group for music in the routine node.

There is a workaround though! You can enter a search phrase and append "on Living Room" for example. The device is then ignored but it still needs to be a valid Echo.

gitafafa Alternatively setting a TuneIn station id with the echo node works with groups.

This worked for me, thanks.
