My HA project: is it achievable?

Hi all!

I would like to enter HA world making a project that includes:

  1. multiroom audio system using 2/3 bluetooth speakers (streaming via Spotify?)
  2. ip camera with night vision and motion detection (and notifications)
  3. PIR sensor
  4. 433 MHz power outlets

I’m sure that 3) and 4) are achievable, but I’m a little bit confused for 1) e 2).
Could you help me? :slight_smile:

Thanks in advance!

Thank you!
But I’m still confused! LOL! :smiley:

You haven’t indicated if you want to DIY everything or buy.

1 multi room audio.
You could look at using Logitech squeezebox on raspberry Pi’s. Plenty of guides around on how to do it and you can control it from HA.
Sonos just works but it more expensive.

2, the ip cameras. There are plenty of options out there but I would start by looking at hikvision or dahua ip cameras. Both of these have MJPEG streams that HA supports.
I have hikvision cameras myself.

3 PIR. I think mysensors do some arduino based PIR sensors.
You could use zwave if you want to got that way.

4 power outlets. Does it have to be 433hz? There are plenty of off the shelf products such as WeMo, orvibo and sonoff to name a few of the top of my head.

Thanks… No other solution for multiroom?

There are many multi room audio solutions but without out more scope it is difficult to provide advice.

What I can add though, with regards to your first post, is that Bluetooth and multi room do not usually go together.
