I just submitted the first version of the iTunes app.
The first version only supports the basics. This includes pairing with iTunes and play, pause, next, previous actions.
I already have planned much more functionality but first I would like to know if the pairing and basics work for everyone.
Update #1:
Version 1.0.0 is approved and in the app store.
Version 1.1.0 is submitted to the app store and awaiting approval. All features included in this release are listed below.
Update #2:
Version 1.2.0 is submitted to the app store and awaiting approval.
Update #3:
Version 1.2.1 is approved and available in the app store.
Version 1.3.0 is approved and available in the app store.
Any feedback and/or suggestions is welcome.

Comments
I guess.
Paring worked flawless and itunes is very responsive to the action cards.
I disabled speech at the moment so I can't say anything about speech commands.
Thanks! Can't wait for upcoming versions!!
For the next releases I will focus on flow triggers. For example: The song has changed.
- Trigger on song changed, paused, resumed
- Homey can say the user rating of a song
- Create and play a playlist of your favorite artist
- Speech can be disabled in the settings page
- Some bugfixes
(touchremote is a plugin for foobar that makes it possible to use itunes remote app to control foobar as if it were itunes)
I tried running only one instance of iTunes at once, but that doesn't change anything.
I don't see the remote icon and any of the iTunes instances. It's the latest version of iTunes for Mac OS. Any ideas or is it just me?
I just submitted 1.3.1 to the app store which should fix the pairing problem.
im affraid im too much of a noob to know how to do that....
what i did find in the logging of the foobar plugin:
when i send a play/pause command via homey, this what gets logged in foobar:
and then the logout request gets repeated every minute
It could take however a few weeks before I push it to the app store because I want to implement some more functionality. But you can already test it by uploading it to your Homey, follow this guide:
