SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Managing Bluesound and NAD network audio players typically requires a mobile app or web interface, which is inconvenient for automation, scripting, or headless environments. This Skill lets you discover devices, control playback, manage grouping, and adjust volume entirely from the command line. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Device Discovery & Targeting: List available players with blu devices and target them by ID, name, alias, environment variable, or config default. - Playback & Volume Control: Run blu play, pause, stop, and blu volume set to control any player on the network. - Grouping & TuneIn Radio: Manage multi-room groups with blu group status|add|remove and search or play TuneIn stations with blu tunein search and blu tunein play. - Use Case: You want a cron job or automation script to pause your living room Bluesound speaker every night at 11 PM. Use blu --device living-room pause in the script, with --json output for reliable parsing. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to list available BluOS devices and then play music on a chosen player using the blu command.
