Hope you can figure it out.
Its plumbing for remote control of or in Devialet terms, to Pilot your devices. As currently defined, the api enables a web interface to control the speakers/system like using the devialet app,Start input Pause, set the volume of a speaker group. The docs mention plans/capability to add additional functionality so what it can do will change but its not an "audio" interface. (UPNP is though). As i read it, https://help.devialet.com/hc/en-us/artic...5207423378 you would still need the APP to setup your rooms (systems using the api terms) but then using that reference can build an app (remote control) to drive your system. One could have a voice interface wrapping the control API, "Hal play me some TV." which effectively automates punching the right buttons on your devialet app. or "Hal turn the music up" I think with Alexa that's called a SKILL and one could teach Alexa a new Skill to control the phantoms via this new API perhaps, but i dont use that so just an educated guess.... how feasible that is from an alexa/plug-in perspective. Check out that API reference, you can get a feel for what is possible from descriptions about the APIs function, even if the API detail is a bunch of blah blah blah. So far not having much luck with the API yet but still early in the journey and have much to learn.
