Change AirPlay system when moving between rooms?

@S7Jordan

Can anyone please tell me if I could get this working with AirPlay rather than SONOS?

Good idea, but there’s currently no AirPlay integration I’m aware of.

EDIT:

Oh, wait there actually is one (3rd party though)

iTunes + Airplay instead of Sonos?

I have many airplay speakers around my house and a Mac that is on all the time, in addition to phones, etc. Has anyone thought about getting SmartThings to talk to iTunes on a Mac/PC so you can play music over AirPlay? Sonos can be VERY expensive and this might offer an alternative. I was thinking about looking on the developer site and see if there is anything that might help me figure out how to do it - like how to get SmartThings to communicate with an app on a computer. It seems like that it would need an app installed to act as a bridge between the Hub’s network connection and the Mac/PC’s. I can see someone creating an app that allows you to control a small list of qualified apps. I think iTunes has some external hooks, but I’m not sure.
