I recently stumbled upon the OnlineRadio app for Homey, and it’s been a fantastic addition to my smart home setup! This app allows you to stream your favorite radio stations directly through your smart devices, making it incredibly easy to enjoy music or news in any room of your house. What I love most about it is its versatility—it works seamlessly with other apps, letting you control the music through voice commands or even automate it within scenes.
One feature that really stands out is the ability to customize your radio stations. Whether you’re into classic rock, jazz, or even international broadcasts, you can input custom URLs to create a playlist that perfectly matches your taste. I’ve set up a morning routine where my bedroom speakers automatically play my favorite radio station as I wake up, making starting the day so much more enjoyable.
For those who enjoy exploring new stations, the app also lets you browse a list of pre-selected radio stations from various countries. It’s amazing how easy it is to switch between different genres or languages with just a few taps on my phone. Plus, the app’s integration with Homey’s flow system means I can create complex automations, like having the radio switch to a specific station when I turn on my outdoor lights in the evening.
If you’re someone who loves music and wants to add a bit more convenience to your daily routine, I highly recommend giving OnlineRadio a try. It’s a simple yet powerful tool that enhances your smart home experience in so many ways. Let me know if you have any questions or if you’d like some tips on setting it up!
