My Question or Issue

I have a number of bluetooth speakers I use most days, different rooms/locations.

I use quite a few iPhone shortcut automations, e.g. "play xyz radio station".

What I don't seem to be able to do is to automate the choice of bluetooth speaker?

I can get it to play on the last one it was set for but that changes.

My ideal would be "play xyz radio station on kitchen", "play xyz radio station on headphones". Or "change Spotify to kitchen speaker"

Is this possible? Surely I'm not the only one to want this feature?

Hey @Milliesma,

Thanks for reaching out!
Have you tried making multiple shortcuts with -Set playback destination to [device name] and running those via Siri voice commands?
It should work in theory but I've seen cases where it doesn't work for no apparent reason at all. Still worth a shot though!

Keep us posted 🙂
