Setting the speaker up in Google Home was quick and painless, and having spent a couple of days listening to the Xiaomi, can’t find much to criticize. Chromecast devices can be controlled just like any other type of Squeezelite player. That plugin, Phillipe_44‘s Chromecast Bridge, has proved to be highly popular.
