Music Assistant SendSpin AirPlay Bridge Repository

This repository is a custom Home Assistant add-on repository containing one add-on:

• music-assistant-sendspin-airplay-bridge

The add-on manages Music Assistant AirPlay Receiver targets for selected SendSpin players and SendSpin-backed groups.

It is intentionally an AirPlay-focused repository. It does not provide Chromecast / Google Cast receiver emulation.

Repository Structure

• repository.yaml: repository metadata for Home Assistant.
• README.md: repo-level install and update notes.
• music-assistant-sendspin-airplay-bridge/: the actual add-on.

What This Repository Is

This is:

• a Home Assistant add-on repository.

This is not:

• a HACS repository;
• a Home Assistant integration;
• a Codex plugin.

Installation

1. In Home Assistant, open Settings -> Add-ons -> Add-on Store.
2. Open the overflow menu and choose Repositories.
3. Add the URL of this repository.
4. Refresh the add-on store if needed.
5. Open Music Assistant SendSpin AirPlay Bridge.
6. Install the add-on.
7. Set music_assistant_url and, if your MA server requires auth, music_assistant_token.
8. Start the add-on.
9. Open the add-on UI and select the speakers/groups you want exposed.

Updating

Home Assistant add-ons update by version number, not by file timestamp.

That means every release must increase:

• music-assistant-sendspin-airplay-bridge/config.yaml -> version

Example:

• installed: 0.2.0
• new release: 0.3.0

If Home Assistant shows an available update but the installed and latest versions are identical, it will not let you install anything. In that case:

1. confirm the add-on version actually increased;
2. refresh the custom repository;
3. if Home Assistant still shows stale metadata, remove and re-add the repository.
