Would be nice to know which ‘multi room audio’ devices you have - are they from B&O (means NL compatible)?

You won’t be able to turn on the BV11 automatically, if you have a Chromecast device (or an Airplay device for that matter) - you always will have to use the remote to activate the input, you have set up, before you can listen.

If you have a B&O/NL device with support for Spotify Connect, you can Join in (using the remote or the B&O app) to the listening session, once you have started the playback on the B&O/NL device.

If you use Chromecasting and you have a Chromecast device connected to the BV11, you will have to make groups in the Google Home app in order to have a multiroom experience (and as mentioned, you must turn on the BV11 manually).

Same goes for Airplay - if you have e.g an ATV connected to the BV11, you must tick the device in the AP menu on the phone/tablet....and turn on the BV11 manually.

Thanks for you quick reply!

For TVs I have the Harmony 77, Contour and Beovision 11-40. I also have the Beosound 1 and M3 smart speakers.

So in theory, I should be able to start a listening session on one of the other TVs or speakers then simply select 'Join' on the remote for the 11-40, meaning there's no need for an additional Chromecast? Is any other set up required?

Thanks again, very useful.

Please go a google search for the phrase: ‘b&o multiroom sources handout’

Then you probably quickly will see a link to a PDF file with the name ‘Multiroom handout...’.

I have no direct link.

Further, this might help understanding what you can do using AP:
