Hi,
since a couple of weeks I am trying to create a lovelace card to have control over my amazon echo devices.
I use the mini-media-player for that. But Source and Destination seems to unclear to me.
For TuneIn radio I use e.g. “media_player.echo_wohnzimmer” as the source, which is from my understanding not the source but the destination. However with dedicated button config like the following it works:
shortcuts:
columns: 3
buttons:
- name: Pure Ibiza Radio
type: custom
id: spiele pure Ibiza Radio von tunein
- name: Milano Lounge
type: custom
id: spiele Milano Lounge von tunein
For Spotify I use “media_player.spotify_user01” as the entity which is the “real” source of music to me.
However, this way, I cant find a way to specify the destination, meaning the speaker I want to play music from spotify on.
To make it even more complicated, with Spotify as a source I get a drop down menu with my spotify connected devices which have unique id. But of course these id’s are different than e.g. media_player.echo_wohnzimmer".
Beside understanding this strange naming convention, I guess my question is, how can I define the right echo deviceto play music on with spotify.
Best
Pete
