CTMatthew Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 I'm looking to recreate one of my favorite multiroom audio features with Bluesound, but I'm not sure it's possible. I'd like to be able to tap a keypad button and have the local Bluesound player "join" whatever is playing in another room. I'm suspecting "Network Audio" might accomplish this, but it doesn't seem to work. Does anyone have any experience programming Bluesound that might be able to offer some insight?

lippavisual Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Use sessions instead. Then an if/else for a single tap. LollerAgent 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTMatthew Posted August 24, 2021 Author Share Posted August 24, 2021 It stuns me that the only multi room system that seems to have this command natively is Bang & Olufsen. Who'da thunk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LollerAgent Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 I do this with sessions (using the Room Control driver). If I double tap the "Music" button on a room's keypad and music is playing in the adjacent room, the room joins the session that has music already playing. We use this feature *every* day. Happy to post programming screenshots when I get home this afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LollerAgent Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 11 hours ago, zaphod said: That would be great - thanks. Here you go. This is programming for the "Music" button in my master bedroom: If an audio source is playing in "Living" (which is adjacent to my master bedroom), I can double-tap the "Music" button and my master bedroom will join the "Living" session. The same goes for my Kitchen and Master Bath. So - it requires a bit of programming to handle your adjacent rooms, but it works very well and we use it every day. Again, this requires that you use the "Room Control" driver - but I don't see why you wouldn't want to use it anyways. It makes life so much easier.

zaphod Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Thanks, that is helpful. Any reason why you use the Break command rather than a nested If statement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seems cleaner/simpler/faster to execute in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo1738 Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Could also use Else Commands to give a tiered request. IE if you would usually want to join sessions w master bath over say living room than you would list master bath, else if living room on join living room etc. LollerAgent 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
