Hi fellow community members,
I wanted to point out the fabulous alternative Denon Heos app from @nlrb
When i had some throuble (missing features and lost connections) with the Athom Heos app, i went searching for alternatives, @nlrb pointed me to his app on GitHub: https://github.com/nlrb/com.soundunited.heos
For those of u who aren’t familiar with installing an GitHub (version) of an homey app, follow this guide: https://community.athom.com/t/how-to-cli-install-method/
In my experience it’s more stable than the Athom app, and it has more features, i’ve created this post to point fellow community members and Heos users to this great app (with agreement of @nlrb, and many thanks for his effort!).
