I'm glad I don't leave it up to someone else to tell me what my home automation system is for. FOR ME.the point of home automation is to tie in the things I want my house to do, and control it all seamlessly from the most convenient places in my house, and for me that includes full featured dashboards.
Like you, I have dashboards in rooms that I like to have music status, playback controls, volume controls, etc. But if you decide to give it a try, there are quite a few of us using it, and we should be able to help you out. I use a container running on a QNAP NAS I already had). (People would be clicking the skip track button and posting questions about why doesn't it work, etc.)Ĭast-Web is a pretty neat API/app/device that brings a lot of the features you're looking for, if you're not familiar with it.Ĭast-web can be found here, on Hubitat, and it's a bit of a rabbit hole (you have to have a separate server, for which many people use a raspberry pi or an old PC. In short, it's a bit stripped down, and if it were implemented as a music player currently, too many of the features wouldn't work, and it would be confusing. The native CC support beware: non-strictly technical terms ahead isn't implemented as a music player device type, so instead of following that template and passing every possible attribute and control through, it is basically just a custom multi-variable device type which contains a subset of them. but Cast-web, which was originally developed for SmartThings, and has been ported over to Hubitat works well enough to get it on your dashboards. Currently, this isn't a feature of the native CC support in Hubitat.
