Qualcomm AllPlay speakers

Thijs

I currently have some Gramofon's I would like to connect to my Homey. Just like a Bluetooth speaker. I believe It should be possible, the protocol is open.

Just looked at the SDK information, it looks like they only have an Android and iOS SDK. Which is lame :-(. Nothing for Homey to interact with. Maybe if there is enough interesest you could contact Qualcomm?

I use Gramofon as well. How do you see Homey connect to Gramofon - besides using Spotify Connect- or did I mis something?

Maybe you can give it bluetooth support by soldering a KRC-86B 4.0 to the phono. I did several upgrades with that chip.

You can find more information about the chip in my previous documentated instructable

The Gramofon also supports Spotify Connect as well as Qualcomm AllPlay, so if the Homey supports AllPlay I think it should work.

Bump. 
AllPlay devices, such as Gramofon, Lenco Playlink and Panasonic All series, work with spotify connect and automatically show up as playback devices in Spotify, but not in Homey. Is it in any way possible to connect through well,... spotify connect?

My Panasonic SC-ALL8 works with Homey through Spotify Connect (but my new LG SJ9 works very poorly. I tried both Spotify Connect and Chromecast).

That's awesome! I have a Gramofon, Panasonic SC-ALL3 and Lenco Playlink 4, all of which use Qualcomm Allplay. They work perfectly through Spotify, but they don't show up in the list of playback devices in the Homey app. How did you add them?

I just added them through the Spotify Connect Beta-app. I then tried playing to the speaker with Spotify Connect on my iPhone. Then I switched to the SC-ALL8 in the homey web-app. 

It's a little buggy, sometime I can't connect at all.
