It would be great if this were extended to support discontinued products
(as squeezebox) and open-source projects like WLED,
the most valuable effect would being able to use 'smart' devices with
alexa even after their manufacturer goes belly-up and takes their
servers with them.
(like Best buy's insignia products)
I mostly use my squeezeboxes as radio's and only use mysqueezebox.com,
wouldn't itbe possible to directly control the on/off, volume, channel
from alexa with this, bypassing LMS?
