Clarification: Purpose of login to HEOS system? #34211

Feedback

Hi, I am new to HEOS, so apologies if I'm misunderstanding something. I have not yet created a HEOS account, and I hope not to. I was hoping to be able to set up a system that exists entirely within my own LAN, allowing me to browse and play music on my own server via SMB, DLNA, or another local protocol.

Using the HEOS app, I am able to use a DLNA-based server shared by Plex, without using a HEOS account. So I know some level of functionality is available without logging in.

Is it possible to use this integration without logging into HEOS, and if so, what features are sacrificed by doing so?
