I'd love to get rid of my home automation assistants (google atm), but I do love having streaming music across the house without resorting to sonos. I enjoy photo frames and timers, but those are easily replaceable. Lighting is helpful, but my phone can handle most.

Anyone have a non invasive replacement for at home streaming to dumb speakers?

I transmit on shortwave FM at low power.

That’s pretty neat. What transmitter do you use? I haven’t had something like that since probably the early 2000’s. Used it to play my iPod in my car when the cassette deck broke! Could only do mono IIRC

I use old Raspberry Pi 1B as FM transmitter

I can't see my exact model, but i think this one is pretty close.
