Status of individual speaker in the group doesn't match the group status

Adding proper group support isn't straight forward, I'm working on it, but it's going to take awhile...

I'm working on it. Problem is Google don't provide API for Google Home devices, so I implement the code based on my interpretation of the communication with the device. Which takes time. But I'm getting there.

That's what I also used to do. But experimenting with my plugin yesterday I realised the difference - when playing Spotify on the "group" it's not just sending the steram on each device separately - it's using special MULTIZONE controller to make sure all devices are time synchronised.
So I'm trying to implement the MULTIZONE controller in my plugin, it's a bit of work though.

In part of my testing with new HS machine, I have honestly just disabled groups all together in the Config page (for now at least) and maybe just better to use "groups" by selecting the speakers inside of the event.
I will continue to try to test other options.

[EDIT] - there's actually MULTIZONE_STATUS message received - I need to investigate how to process it.
What's interesting - the "Application" info is reported for each device in the group - they all show "Spotify" when Spotify is playing in the group.
And what's even more interesting (and strange) - the Application ID is different on each device, i.e.
Group: Spotify (CC32E753)
Home1: Spotify (705D30C6)
Home2: Spotify (531A4F84)

Status of individual speaker in the group doesn't match the group status
Originally posted by MeapilotIf I am streaming to a "group" created in the app. The plug in does not show that each individual speaker is active.
For example: Media speaker group>streaming Spotify. Group shows streaming.
Speakers set up in "Media Speaker group" are Living room, kitchen, bathroom. Individually those speakers do not show streaming.
If TTS is disabled in "media Speaker group" it will still stop spotify on individual speakers as it thinks they are inactive.Tags: None
