Echo devices: Speaker groups not supported?

[pedolsky]

Hello kalkih, thank you very much for your awesome work!

Could it be that Echo speaker groups (platform: media_player) are not supported? Grouping is not possible, the buttons don’t react.

Here is my example config, maybe it’s misconfigured:

type: custom:mini-media-player
hide:
  power: true
  icon: true
  source: true
speaker_group:
  platform: media_player
  show_group_count: true
  expanded: true
  supports_master: true # tried also with 'false'
  entities:
    - entity_id: media_player.echo_dot
      name: Echo Küche
    - entity_id: media_player.echo_show
      name: Echo Schlafen
entity: media_player.echo_show # tried also with 'media_player.echo_dot'

Thank you in advance!

Hey @pedolsky,

Yes that's correct, Echo devices are not supported as of now, the HA integration need to implement speaker grouping functionality in order for it to work in this card.

Currently known working platforms are listed in the readme under Speaker group object, see "Supported platforms".
