Control Airfoil with SmartThings

Uses airfoil-api to control Rogue Amoeba's Airfoil with SmartThings.

This project essentially duplicates the functionality of Airfoil Remote in a way that you can integrate with the rest of your SmartThings automation.

• Mount an iPad on the wall for easy volume control
• Control Airfoil speaker volume with a Z-Wave dimmer
• Turn on and off Airfoil speakers with HomeKit and Siri
