Support devices in multi-room-groups #34

Open scooter306 opened 3 years ago

scooter306 commented 3 years ago

Problem

Echo-devices can be grouped into multi-room-groups. When music is played in this group, the single device doesn’t show that its playing music.

Solution

Var 1 - show also that music is played on a device that’s part of a group Var 2 - show the group as an additional speaker. So when echo 1 and echo 2 are in a group there are 3 speakers shown.

I don't currently have any setup as multi-room groups. Could you update to the latest version (v0.3.0), run Homebridge in debug mode, and include all of the [AlexaPlayer] logs here?

Is that the only entry in the logs? There should be one line for every Alexa device/app registered to your account. The line you provided is effectively a mock device that represents the WHA (whole home audio) group. I'm hoping that each of the physical devices have a property that references the WHA's serial number.

Pause/Play or even seeing status of speaker in groups still doesn't work with latest update as of today - I was playing on my main floor group and all three speakers said they were Idle.

Separate issue ***Also tried with the show echo show as TV set to true in config (yes it shows as TV but that about all it does) and even when I played a song just on the echo show the TV power button did nothing AKA could pause or Play.

If you want logs i can reinstall (next time i would set TV to false). I have removed the plugin however since it serves me little to no purpose (not trying to take shots at anyone - not like I could create a plugin).

How hard is it to add airplay feature for these speakers as that would make this plugin very very popular

Multiroom Group Support would be a great feature or at least the possibility to activate more than one device. Thx for your great work!
