Hi,
Forgive me if this is posted in the wrong place.
I'm testing Homeseer and HSTouch to determine if it will help me with my home audio dilemma.
I am currently using iPeng to control my Logitech Media Server (LMS). Searching on Spotify also works in iPeng but the search engine is not very good. It uses a plugin called Triode to enable Spotify within LMS, but it is really not very powerful as compared to the Spotify app.
I currently have a bunch of Raspberry Pi's (RPi's) running Squeezelite and connected to my LMS. I would like to find a way to use HSTouch instead of iPeng to control my home audio, whether it's through my LMS or iTunes (using AirPlay), and have the ability to use online music services. Either Spotify or Apple Music.
I tested both the squeezebox plugin and the iTunes DAAP plugin in Homeseer, and they both appear to provide all the functionality I'm looking for EXCEPT the ability to search Spotify or Apple Music within HSTouch.
Does anyone have any experience with a similar setup? Or perhaps suggest a different approach? I would prefer to use my current RPi's instead of buying new hardware. If Apple Music was accessible in the iTunes DAAP plugin, this would be the ideal solution (hence my initial post in this thread). But since no one answered, I suspect there is no support for Apple Music currently, nor is it planned for this plugin.
Thanks in advance for any insight!
