Control Roon Audio via Flic & Matter: Introducing js-matter-roon-bridge

A lightweight Node.js bridge exposing local Roon audio zones as native Matter endpoints. It enables direct, low-latency tactile control of your Roon setup from Flic smart buttons, Flic Twist, and Flic Hub over standard Matter protocols entirely on your local network.

What is Roon Core?

Roon Core is the central brain of a Roon audio ecosystem. It manages library metadata, connects streaming services (Tidal, Qobuz), executes DSP audio processing, and distributes bit-perfect playback across all network-connected audio endpoints and DACs.
