Review on 🔊 Belkin SoundForm Connect AirPlay Receiver for Streaming with 3.5mm Speaker and Other AirPlay Enabled Devices by Randy Bin

This simple device delivers on its promise of bringing AirPlay 2 to dumb amps or powered bookshelf speakers. It works out. What I didn't like the most was that it can't be recognized in Siri commands. For example, I named these "Garage Speakers" and placed them in a room called "Garage" in HomeKit (the Home app). If I'm playing music from a HomePod mini in my kitchen and Siri says something like "Turn that on in the garage too" or "Turn on the speakers in the garage," Siri won't find the device. I've tried renaming it, moving rooms, restarting the device, etc. No dice. I know these commands are not limited to Apple devices as they work great with my Sonos speakers. As far as I can tell, this is most likely due to how the device appears in the Home app. This Belkin device shows up as a type of stereo accessory, while non-Apple AP2 devices (e.g. Sonos or Denon Heos speakers) show up as speaker accessories. Lost connection with AP2 streams a few times. I don't think it was a Wi-Fi issue as I have a really good Ubiquiti Unifi setup. Siri limitations and some connectivity issues aside (which don't seem to be universal), I can see this little device being perfect for someone. .
