support speakers added as homekit smart speakers?

Open chris-chensy opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

Currently, with home assistant, the speakers (media_player) can only be added as a group of switches in homekit. I wonder if the speakers can be treated as smart speakers so the apple tv can cast Apple Music to the speaker.

Yep. That would be awesome. I found AirPlay 2 receiver implementation on Python here. I think it's possible to implement that as different class.

Yes! I'm looking for the same functionality! I will have a look at the link you posted @breitburg but we should definitely upvote this issue cause I read in the homeassistant forum is a wanted-feature as well
