It supports:

• The ability to create speaker groups

• Homebridge

Example Config

{
  "platform": "MonopriceAmp",
  "itachFlexIp": "192.168.1.1", //itachflex ip address
  "zones": [
    {
      "name": "Zone 1",
      "number": 1
    },
    {
      "name": "Zone 2",
      "number": 2
    }
  ],
  "sources": [
    "sonos",
    "airplay"
  ],
  "enableMasterControls": true,
   "groups": [
      {
        "name": "Sample 1",
