Hey guys,
it's been a couple of months i entered the HA rabbit hole and I successfully moved everything from google home, except the Nest speakers.
I have a couple in the house, created a group so I can listen the radio or music everywhere using Music Assistant.
the thing is, i'm not a fan of the whole chromecast situation. it shows up on my android phone (even when I'm casting a simple dashboard), and control is poor.
I bought a first Sonos bar sound and I love the integration with HA/MA. so smooth, simple. So i bought also a Sonos Era 100 for the bedroom to add/transfer music seemless between rooms.
But it is a bit pricy if I want to upgrade every room. I don't need a Sonos amp to listen the radio in the Shower (where I have a cheap Google nest mini). Any recommendations for a cheaper wifi speaker ?
-
Needs to pair with MA so I can use it along my Sonos speakers
-
no DIY (i'm already buying so much for sensors and stuff, no budget or time for all the soldering and stuff)
-
i don't require excellent audio (i will still buy some Sonos for the important rooms).
Maybe this is a unicorn and I'm asking too much, in that case, i'll wait and buy Sonos for every room.
thanks !
