Hi all,
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Goal: from iPhone - start playing the Overcast App current podcast, and choose outputs to play on multiple HomePods at same time and set individual volumes for each…
Currently, I have two different HomePods, one each in two different rooms.
I am trying to set up a shortcut that can do the following:
- Start playing the iPhone Overcast App current podcast
- And set the audio output to both HomePods at once.
- Also set individual volumes to different amounts.
shortcuts:
Overcast set to Play = works fine
It seems if I first :
- set playback destination to home pod 1
- then “handoff” from SOURCE (leave empty) to homepod 2 - then they both become active.
But my attempts at setting individual volumes for each HomePod have so far failed…
I tried:
-
set playback destination to home pod 1
-
set volume to 50%
handoff from SOURCE (leave empty) to homepod 2 -
set volume to 85%
-
this failed
Also I tried :
I have a homekit scene MyVolume to just set ‘volume only’ of the 2 homepods - but it seems to just hang and error when I try or else no nothing
I add it as a shortcut step…
Control {homename} set MyVolume
fail or nothing
How can I set the setting individual volumes for each HomePod with no errors or hangs?
Thanks Dave
