    HS4 update and Tidal

    Hi, I am considering buying Homeseer because of your squeezebox integration. Before buying it, I face two questions:

    1) If I buy it before HS4 is released, am I eligible for HS4 updates?

    2) Can I choose Tidal albums or playlists to play and, if so, can I set the play mode (shuffle/normal/repeat) for any event I create within HS?

    Best wishes

    You can install the tidal app in squeezebox and have access through the plugin. I use spotify. Both require premium accounts.

      AllHailJ thank you very much! Could you very briefly explain how I would be setting an album from Tidal/Spotify to play when a trigger is triggered? That would help me a lot.

        I run mine through LMS (Logitech Media Server) which allows me access to the squeezebox plug-in. I run the LMS on a media server called vortexbox. These are available at no charge. It does require a dedicated machine (I have not tried a virtual machine). See screen shots below. I am not sure if you can load tidal directly into squeezebox but I will do some checking. I also use HStouch to control my media rack and home theater. You can get vortexbox here: (https://wiki.vortexbox.org/available_images)

        I am not sure I understand what a trigger is triggered means? Do you mean an event is triggered?

        Here it is in Squeezebox.

        There are squeezebox commands that are available to control the app. See a sample below.
