I like how it looks but I would love it to have the channel customised. If you add more stations like it is now this will get complicated. Also is there a way you can send the output to another speaker. Now it plays just on the phone or tablet you are using.

@Iktjilp I’m not sure what you would want to customize, as the widget only shows the most recent playing track.

You can use the [OnlineRadio](https://homey.app/en-us/app/nl.lrvdlinden.onlineradio/OnlineRadio/) app to play radio channels on other speakers.

Customizing the station. I now have a set of flows for my favourite stations. Each one just sends a message to my Sonos speaker to start playing that station.

Hi,  
any chance you would consider extending it by Chromecast built-in radios ?

Hi @basvanderploeg

I like your work but is there an update coming soon?

1. Like @Iktjilp mentioned earlier: Let it play on a selected smart speaker in a flow or in the settings from your widget.
2. Can you added more radio stations? 7 of the 8 radio stations are from NPO. Not my favorite.
3. To make the widget more usefull for people outside the Netherlands / Belgium, is there a way to customise the widget? An internet radio URL in the settings by liking. @Sharkys metioned something simular.

Rogier

Great app! Would be great if i can select a smart speaker to play on.

When i hit play, it plays on my tablet itself now.
