True True - I use a 'button device' (an elgato streamdeck) and have it run a program to change the input via the phantom speakers network api. the use case is the remote and buttons are in a 'fixed' location and i can mash buttons (to set inputs or change the volume) or turn the knob for volume control. For basic switching and volume control it works fine for my simple needs. (though for multi-room or multi-pair settings you still need the devialet app)
btw - the auto-switch for inputs seems like it used to work better, i mostly just bounce between a dialog and arch. just an observation not really tested it much. but noticed that while i have auto-switch enabled, The arch is really good about 'taking an 'idle' input', but not good about going idle so that the Dialog can take it back. FWIW. seems like a bug somewhere. but my work around is to just set the input to the dialog with my home brew remote system (slcmdr) and that works fine.
