I have an echo and I thought about doing an integration but I'm not using it enough so that it makes sense for me and a rule is that you have to use what you develop for yourself first. Re Bluetooth, to do a good integration, this would be a lot of work and configuration as you need more than one bridge for more than one BT speaker (range and probably streaming possibility). Then I would have the same problem as above, i.e. I'm not using a lot BT speakers - and my plate is really full currently LMS 7.7.5 - 5xRadio, 3xBoom, 4xDuet, 1xTouch, 1 SB2.
