I know, there is already people making audio visualization with ESP, RPi or Arduino and stuff, but, we already have the controller: Home Assistant! and the devices: lights and speakers!
We just need a component that makes fun with them :tada:

I am wondering a component that :

  • input : receives an audio from AirPlay/Chromecast/Bluetooth server it creates (maybe also jack, for single-board computers, etc) :minidisc:
  • output :
    – send back the audio to existing speakers :notes:
    – manage color, brightness and rhythm of existing lights :partying_face:

Already have lights (mostly Zigbee and HomeKit) and speakers (AirPlay, Bluetooth, Android TV/Chromecast), and not fan of electrical tweaks.

DIY videos like this https://youtu.be/yninmUrl4C0 and this https://youtu.be/XNS24J42lLk are very cool, but, com’on …

I think the biggest issue with Home Assistant and what you propose would be the 1 second event bus. Home Assistant really only evaluates things each second. You can specify millisecond, however, it will only evaluate it when the next second comes up. This make for very poor timing control when compared to something like the pace of music.
