The speaker is a Pioneer DLNA type, but as I said I can use BubbleUPnp as a renderer on my Android phone and stream to it as well. Not sure about streaming to a local speaker using the local path rather than a URL as I don’t have a speaker attached to my Raspberry Pi.
Just testing as I am new to HA, so currently it’s just a script, invoked via a badge.
