Today I installed HiFiBerryOS for the first time, what a great first impression! The whole installation proces and the UI is just great.

I also tried Volumio, RuneAudio, Pi MusicBox, moOde, but HiFiBerryOS was the best first impression until now. I am using version 20201213 btw.

I am replacing my very old receiver/amp with a Google AudioCast for a Fosi Audio BT20A Amp and a Raspberry Pi and a HiFiBerry HAT. Real room saver :)

We are listening to the radio sometimes, just turn the receiver on and the radio starts playing. I want a similar experience with the Pi.

Is this possible with HiFiBerryOS? I looked at Interactions, its possible to do something after startup, but the option to start a radio  is not possible.

Is this on the roadmap perhaps?

  There is no "roadmap", but we are working on improving the interactions documentation to make it easier for other developers to add new interactions. There are so many ideas what could be done with Interactions that we simply can't implement everything. Therefore, we hope that the community will work on some of these and we'll see more and more interactions in the future.

  thank you for the quick answer. So like a community plugin system, that sounds cool.

  lets hope there are people willing to create stuff.
