Expand Deezer connect's functionality

Agreed!! The Deezer Connect feature is very misleading and should be called Deezer remote instead.  Please expand its functionality.

i have Echo speakers and the Deezer app and cant see ow to select what speaker to play from in the app. it will only play on my phone. need to be able to connect to a speaker

We hear you all! 

Please vote for this idea, we will make sure to show the icrease of votes to our developpers: 

• DLNA/UPNP support Replied by Deezer

Agreed - The Deezer Connect name is misleading. What literally everyone wants is the same functionality as Spotify Connect which is the leader.

Deezer comment needs to be like Spotify connect so we can use the Deezer app instead of things like MusicCast. 

@Yula Any update on this? I see it’s been merged but isn’t that a bit more generic. I think we should keep a specific thread unnerved for specifically controlling Deezer on an Alexa device, say an Echo, from the Deezer app on your phone, like you can do on Spotify and Amazon Music. Come on Deezer Devs, YOU CAN DO IT!

I am sure our devs are working in a better user experience for Deezer Connect and to expand its functionality. 
Actually, it has been expanded for Sonos users in France at the moment.
Stay tuned for any update and thanks for your patience :)

Ok, fingers crossed it comes to alexa casting soon like spotify!

Greeeeat news… 😎👍🏻

Thx for sharing, @Jaime.

Can‘t wait to see this for Germany. 🥳

I would like to apologise for the misinformation on my previous reply to @el_micko 
Sonos support for Deezer connect is not available in any country yet and there is no ETA either.
What we recently launched in France and the US was Deezer on Sonos Voice Control and support for the Flow Moods.
As soon as I have information regarding Deezer Connect I’ll let you know

ooooh you tease. so no support for controlling deezer on alexa devices (echo, echo show etc) with your phone a la Spotify anytime soon then? I just don’t understand why Spotify are the only service that provide this functionality when people have been crying out for it. Deezer, Tidal, Qobuz are all great streaming services in their own ways, yet none of them can control alexa devices, Amazon Music can but it’s limited. I just find it baffling, especially when we got so close with Deezer Connect, I can now remotely control what’s playing on my pc with my phone, why not other devices as well?

Great new feature. Please make it available for Denon/Heos multiroom system as well! Thx, Marc

Just to be realistic… the feature is still in development for Sonos and Amazon Multiroom. For other systems like Heos imho this will take some more time. 

Amazon Multiroom……..does this mean that soon i’ll be able to control Alexa Echo devices from my phone, as you can do with Spotify?

@el_micko

As far as I know (but without guarantee 😉) this is on the roadmap for Deezer connect. 
Imho Sonos will be first supported external system and others starting with Amazon Echo will follow. 
But once again… this takes time. 

it does, do you know how much time it will take. when can we expect to see Echo device support for deezer connect in ios beta? Have all the devs been working on the Zen project or is that a separate dev team?

@el_micko 

As you can imagine there’s no official information about such detailed internal developments. 
Also there’s no timeline for such things. 
My personal opinion is that Sonos integration could be done around mid 2023. Hopefully following Amazon Echo also end of 2023. But there is no official information about this. Just my feeling… 😎

Ok, cheers. 

I agree Deezer connect needs to be enhanced. It needs to work like Spotify. I can't control my Onkyo AVR currently with Deezer like I can Spotify. This is currently keeping me with Spotify. The reason I need this is because my other preferred option doesn't exist either which is Deezer on Apple TV. Again, Spotify has this feature while Deezer doesn't.

The only work around that I have found requires a fire stick with your echo speakers setup as an alexa home theater, a HDTV with an HDMI ARC port and a Google Chromecast. Connect the fire stick to the HDMI ARC port and then anything connected to the tv will play through your Alexa home theater then connect the Chromecast to your next available HDMI port then you can connect Deezer to chromecast and bam you can control it from your phone or the chromecast and it plays from your echo home theater I have 2 echo studios and the echo sub In my Alexa home theater and it sounds amazing 

JFYI… now there is a native Deezer app available for Apple TV. 
But I still agree that a direct control option for systems like Sonos and others really is necessary.  

That would work if your an iPhone and apple person but me personally don't like anything apple to over priced and to limited on what you can do with them. But yeah they need to allow you to connect the app to your echo speakers like you can with Amazon music and Spotify. I swear tho that you used to be able to control your music from the android app years ago I stopped using Deezer for awhile as I had access to a Amazon music family account but just switched back to Deezer and noticed you no longer can do that easily.
