New Featured on Google Home

I just saw this from CNET: https://www.cnet.com/how-to/you-might-use-google-homes-new-music-feature-every-single-day-heres-how-it-works-best/

I viewed the Google Home screens it references, but didn't make any changes. While it shows most of my devices, it doesn't seem to recognize that DAS is Casting to Speaker Groups.

BTW, I gave your DAS a nice reference in the comments!

Thanks, nice new features when you change the devices in a group frequently.

  • When I stream to a group it appears in the new screen. I can pause and change the volume.
  • When I uncheck a device from the group that's playing, streaming to that device stops (on the fly). A new group appears in DAS when doing so, named <devicename of the leader of the group> and <number of devices left playing>. To some of these new groups I can start streaming in DAS, with others I get a connect error.
  • I had to click Reset Settings in DAS to get rid of the newly created groups.
