AirPlay 2 speakers audio control #32

Before I replace my standard bridge with a pro bridge, will this plug-in allow me to control AirPlay 2 speakers with an audio Pico Remote?

This homebridge module exposes Pico remotes as buttons in HomeKit. So, if you can build a scene in HomeKit to perform the action, this will work.

If you want to control something like HomePod, you can Play, Pause, etc. However, I don't believe you can do incremental volume changes. Maybe something else out there can do this through Homebridge.

Bottom line, this just creates a button event, the rest of the work is handled in HomeKit.

What I've done for their Fan pico is create a series of HomeKit Automations that are based on current state - up his pressed and fan it off, turn fan on to low. Up is pressed and fan is on low, set fan to Medium, etc.
