Device	Status	What they said	Source
AirPlay speakers via macOS Music	Works	Works on macOS only; v1 uses dynamic accessories Saved copy It's the next (and penultimate) plugin I plan to convert. No ETA though. Until then, you might want to set `timeout` in config.json, to give Homebridge Music more time to start iTunes (or Music or whatever player you're using) and rediscover the AirPlay speakers. This will delay the startup of Homebridge, preventing (hopefully) that Homebridge starts without exposing the Homebridge Music accessories.

In ReReHome

Whatever this plugin publishes reaches Apple Home as a normal HomeKit accessory behind your Homebridge bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.

Bridges get their own settings page listing the accessories behind them.
