Hi L1NO,

Do you have more progress on this? Quitte interesting want to buy the Pi as well and this would be a nice bonus

Ore help programming

I've released a simple speaker control plugin for homebridge (look for homebridge-beoplay in the npm repository). I'd be interested in feedback.

I've so far implemented mute/standy and volume control, although in order to get the volume control usable by Siri its necessary to expose the speaker as if it was a lightbulb - similar to your thermostat implementation.

Anything really:

• any bugs or where the plugin isn’t functioning as you would expect
• suggestions for enhancements to functionality supported in the plugin that would make sense in the context of HomeKit
• suggestions on new functionality you would like to see
• any areas where the documentation is unclear, or needs additional material

I have been adding enhancements over time (including supporting B&O TVs), and have more planned, however as I only have an A9 speaker to test everything on it’s likely there may be issues I need assistance in fixing with other B&O devices. 

Great!

I have provided feedback to a similar initiative from another developper who also had a single Beoplay device, and he did a very good job enhancing his application to control multiple devices.

First thing that could be cool is to have the "Join" command passed as "Power on via setting", i.e. when I start a device, it will attempt to join an already playing device. This is a very nice feature of the B&O Multiroom.

You can find more information about various commands here : https://github.com/tlk/beoplay-macos-remote-cli

FYI: My first use of your integration is to include my B&O Core in a Homekit "Good Night" routine that shuts down all my living room Hue bulbs as well as the B&S Core and by extension the associated speakers. It saves me a couple of clicks on different physical remotes and can be voice controlled.

Excellent - that was one of the original use cases I wrote the plugin for  

I’ll have a look at the join functionality in the other integrations you’ve pointed me to and look to get included soon.
