Some audio sub would just muck this up…
What all speakers or music services are you guys using. We have a mix of Echo Shows and Dots scattered around 5 in total. And one dot plugged into a 20 year old Sony 6.1 receiver tossed high on a shelf in the Laundry room that powers two outdoor pioneers speakers. I Call em’…”The Doggs” lol. Seriously that Sony is a 600 watt power killer I see as the weakest link that needs something much more efficient.
Then all our tvs are Roku. Which I can control simple things like volume pause etc with Alexa.
I like how I can play Amazon music on all the devices. But is this the best for playing sounds triggered by automations? Or is there some better way I can connect sound and music to HA.
I don’t have unlimited budget but what is something you use or something I can build on.
What are you running and why do you like it.
P.s. the number one factor is connectivity for me over sound quality to an extent. Also I don’t care about local vs hosted. That takes a back seat to connectivity also.
