I have few GoogleHome spekaers, using them to listen to online streaming services (Spotify, internet radio, YT…)
Case 1.
Have grouped them in to a group within Hassio.
Case 2.
Have created Speakers’ group in the GH app.
In both cases use the entity (group.all_speakers or media_player.all_speakers) to stream online audio content to.
Remark:
In case 1 often experience a delay between different speakers.
In case 2 I do not have such issue (though just few days ago started using this option)
My question is:
Does listening on multiple speakers actually multiplies download volume (each downloads individually) or Hassio downloads it only once and then distributes internally (through internal LAN) to different speakers?
Delay in case 1 make me think that it’s about individual and independent streaming connections to the server, therefore multiplied MBytes in DL.
Right or not?
