Make iPhone volume buttons control selected device

This thread is a feature request from 2013, preserved from the original Roomie Remote forum. It reflects what users were asking for at the time — many requests from this era have since shipped in Roomie Remote X. See current compatibility for today's device support.

In short

When holding my iPhone, it's second-nature to use the thumb buttons to adjust the volume of whatever I'm listening to. (iPad, too.) Long before using Roomie, I was using AirPlay, and the iPhone's volume buttons do control my receivers' volume -- in my house and even in my car (via Bluetooth).

It'd be great if the physical buttons controlled the volume of the selected device in Roomie, as well. :-)

Isn't that the Override Volume feature in Roomie's Settings? Or do you mean something different from how the current setting works?

Thank you.

That's what I was looking for!

It was in a different location than expected (I thought it would be in the activity or device set-up). Also the name "override volume" is a bit unclear (despite the description below).

Thanks!
