Music Assistant
Manage all your smart speakers with Music Assistant and Homey.
Connect Homey locally to Music Assistant and control all your speakers quickly and easily from Homey. Start specific tracks, albums, artists, playlists, or radio stations, and use your speakers for spoken announcements.
To get started, open the app settings and configure how Homey connects to your Music Assistant server. Then add your speakers as devices and start building flows.
Use the Search & Play widget on your Homey dashboard to quickly find and play music without building a flow. Search for tracks, artists, albums, playlists, podcasts, or radio stations, and play them directly on any paired speaker — all from a single dashboard tile.
Version 2.0 adds much more: clear or move the queue between speakers, group and ungroup speakers in one step, add the current track to your favorites, announcements with a fixed volume and chime, a trigger when the queue runs empty, and a Party QR widget that lets guests request songs from their own phone.
