Multiroom with Google and Symfonisk
Discussion
TLDR: I would like to cast to standard "cast to" devices AND IKEA/Sonos speakers at the same time. Does anyone know if that works either through the built in Android "cast to" feature, or through the Sonos software?
Long version:
In my main listening area I have a Denon HC receiver, with HEOS built-in. I have used HEOS exactly twice but mention it in case that's an option I should consider!
On the rare occasions I want to cast something I cast to the connected NVidia Shield.
In my kitchen, I have a TV with a Chromecast 4K. I set up a zone in Google Home with the Shield and Chromecast as output devices, so I can have the same music playing in both places at once by selecting that zone as an output.
I am currently thinking about fitting IKEA Symfonisk speakers in my kitchen. I believe these are built on the Sonos system.
What I am unable to find out is whether IKEA/Sonos as an output device plays nicely with Google Home or vice versa. Has anyone here tried (successfully or otherwise) to cast to Symfonisk speakers and a Chromecast output device simultaneously?
£230 for a pair of half decent wireless speakers seems like a good deal if that's all I need to get
