Thank you for this blueprint! It has helped me a lot! I have recently gone from only a single satellite for HA to 2 and now that I can't rely on the default player fallback I wanted to tackle the challenge of getting the music request to simply route to the device that triggered it as long as the device itself is a media player and you did not specify an area or device. This is the expected functionality for many who are use to Alexa/Google devices.
Getting this to work was pretty straightforward and I have been using this setup for a while and wanted to see if this change was something the rest of the community would be interested in. I would think this change could be part of the LLM blueprints as well but I currently only use the local version. Thank you for your consideration the high level changes are as follows.
• Introduced a new variable to capture if the device that triggered the voice request is a media player.
• Updated the fallback logic to check if the triggering device is a Music Assistant media player.
• If no device or area is specified in the request, and the triggering device is a Music Assistant media player, the automation will now use that device as the first fallback target for playback.
• If the triggering device is not suitable, the automation continues to fall back to the area or the user-selected default player as before.
This change ensures more intuitive and context-aware playback behavior when handling voice requests.
