Hi there,

Hidden in all the announcements at WWDC was the new feature that Airplay 2 speakers can now be used in automations through Homekit. This is the Apple blurb:

AirPlay 2 speakers in scenes and automations. Access songs, playlists, and radio stations with Apple Music.

Siri shortcuts. Siri shortcuts can now be added to automations.

Anyone out there already using Apple Music? Does anyone know whether this means that you can configure the Apple TV as an "Apple Music streaming box" combined with local control (volume, skipping songs etc) of e.g. an Essence remote? Or any other creative new possibilities?

There is a new Audio Kit for Siri, so maybe other service may be integrated as well... Deezer already has some Shortcuts available. So "Start my Deezer Flow on BeoPlay M3 each Saturday at 11.00" can be automated with the 13-update already.
