except for the HomePod 1gen. Do you expect this one to work at all?
I do notice brief disconnections (warning sign on the device tile in the device overview).
Nice addition with cover art btw! The only thing I do not understand is why there are 2 volume options (slider and the volume up/down button). But I guess that is the nature of the little beast.
So far, super impressed what you have achieved. If only I could start the 6:45 RTL news on NL ZIET on my AppleTV every workday
Hi Bas, thanks for building this integration, really nice work. I’ve been looking for something like this for quite a while. I noticed that for Apple TV there’s a flow card that allows starting a URL or deeplink, which is very useful. Would it be technically possible to add a similar flow card for the HomePod (mini)? The main use case would be starting an Spotify / Apple Music playlist from a flow. That would be a great addition.
@7Hills Unfortunately not possible as of now. Opening apps and urls on an Apple TV goes through the “companion link” protocol. HomePods don’t have that protocol. There are ways to play music though, I just haven’t figured them out yet…
@Nils_Kijkuit I just tried web URLs first and Googled what other people have figured out using the pyatv project… More technical, but a way is to search for domains that have `/.well-known/apple-app-site-association` available.
@Arnold_vd_Linden Hmm, I’ll try some things then. I don’t have a 2019 Homey myself, so if you could please keep sending diagnostics reports with new updates, that would be awesome.
@Nitramevo No, it should work without any experiments. Can you try again after a while and make sure that AirPlay is available for everyone on the same network? Settings → AirPlay & HomeKit
HP2023 with latest firmware. Managed to add one HomePod mini earlier today but since then multiple attempts to add the others all just hang and then time out.
I’ve just released v1.0.11 that should fix a bunch of crashes that I’ve received. This update also makes some adjustments in communicating with the devices. My two HomePod Mini’s and Apple TV are more stable now and I did not have to restart the app after the update on my “production” Homey.
Source of the app is also made available. The actual protocol code will be made available soon.
And v1.0.12 is now also released. This update adds retry logic to HomePod (Mini) pairing. I found that retrying the pairing process often fixes the issue.
@BasMilius i don’t kow what the problem was, but after uninstalling (v1.0.12) the app and reinstalling v1.0.12 i could add all my devices.
Seem to work for now.
Keep it up, the “live” updating of issues is a great help for everyone!!
I look forward to seeing what you come up with in regards to this request. Sounds like you’re already working on it, and I believe it would be a good option.
