So I previously posted a question about how to use my Airport Express connected speakers with Home Assistant. I’ve been doing a fair bit of research in the meantime and have come up with the following nuggets of information:-
forked-daapd is the tool I need to use to cast/stream music to my Airport Express speakers. This needs to be run on a separate Pi to my Hass install. There isn’t a community add-on to Hass!
I can pass (somehow) the media URL to forked-daapd using media_extractor.
Can anyone who has got this setup give me a hand? I’m a bit confused about what would be best in terms of using my existing hardware and what needs to be installed on what to make this work!
Thanks
