homebridge-airport-express-playing

Homebridge plugin that creates a smart speaker accessory that shows playing/paused for airport express devices and has optional switch that can be used to trigger home automations.

Configuration

This easiest way to use this plugin is to use homebridge-config-ui-x.
To configure manually, add to the platforms section of Homebridge's config.json after installing the plugin.

Config:

{
  "platform": "AirportExpressPlaying",
  "name": "Airport Express Playing Platform",
  "showSwitch": true
}

Notes

1. Will not work when AirPlaying from iTunes running on Win10
2. Will not work in many situations involving grouped accessories due to limitations in mDNS
