Looking for a self-hosted home audio system, something like Sonos where you can play music in different zones/rooms and control it from a phone or tablet. Not sure on speakers, maybe something running off of raspberry pi’s or just standalone speakers if that would work. Anyone doing something like this?
This looks really cool. Any recommendations on clients(speakers)? I have a couple of older raspberry pies I could use if as remote speakers, but I’d need a few more.
Personally I use Raspi 2 and Zero for that purpose. HATS for digital connection or if you want connecting speakers directly consider AMP2 HAT.
Homeassistant controls grouping, volume etc.
There’s moode as an alternative to Volumio and only really supported on the Pi.
You can do most of this stuff manually too, but of course that’s more work.
Maybe Volumio can work? It’s some time since I last tried it.
Roon is self-hosted but not open spurce. Incredible at playing music, beautiful UI etc. Not free but best in class imo. https://roon.app/en/
