I've added MGS and MDI commands that can be used to query & command the flareconnect (multiroom audio) feature on onkyo devices. I hope at some point to use this in combination with home assistant to have easy access to multiroom audio without needing the onkyo mobile app :-)

The eiscp_sender command is essentially the same as the eiscp_monitor
command, except that it exits after 1 second. This allows for sending a
command to test (and probably capture a response) without having to kill
the eiscp_monitor afterwards.
Add the 'MDI QSTN' command, which is used on Onkyo receivers to query
what multiroom audio "groups" this receiver is participating in. This is
the info in the "edit group" feature in the Onkyo app in the tripple-dot
menu. Also known as FlareConnect.
Add the raw-message command 'MGS', which can be used on Onkyo receivers
to set up multiroom audio (aka Flareconnect)
Added a crude example for starting&stopping multiroom audio (aka
flareconnect) on two Onkyo devices.

I've created a small writeup on how this can be used to create a set of buttons in home assistant for starting and stopping multiroom audio with Onkyo devices. https://github.com/rlKoekie/python-eiscp/blob/onkyo-groups/Onkyo-homeassistant-flareconnect.rst
