Bluetooth support

Open markferry opened this issue 1 year ago • 4 comments

Ability to connect to zones using Bluetooth A2DP.

Objectives

  • [x] users can play to the nearest music player
  • [ ] other streams are stopped when bluetooth plays
  • [ ] bluetooth player is visible in HA

Initially just local audio stream (as with Kodi), publishing to mosquitto.

Later multizone distribution - perhaps via a bluetooth proxy.

Nice to Have

  • bluetooth metadata is visible in HA
