Not in ReReHome
It supports AirPlay 2, so you can stream to it from an iPhone, iPad or Mac, but it can’t be added to the Home app, so ReReHome can’t switch it on or off, change inputs or show its remote. Homebridge can add it, though; see below.
Connectivity
- Wi-Fi
- Ethernet
How it reaches your home
