I have two Insignia-made Google Assistant enabled speakers (homie1 and homie2) that I have used the Home app to merge into a stereo pair.
Even though they’re paired, in HA they appear as two separate media player entities instead of one - media_player.homie1 and media_player.homie2. Some things appear to work fine (I can use volume_set
targeting the homie1, for example, and that’s fine) but when music is playing, both entities show their states as either off or idle, depending on when I last interacted with them. I wanted to make some automations based on when/if music is playing, but don’t know how I can do that if I can’t see their actual playing status.
Is this something unique to the Insignias or all google speaker pairs? Any thoughts on how I can determine their status?
