Speakers for HA

Hardware
1

Is there a way to connect wireless speakers to HA to be used as a media playback device? I see that Sonos can, but kind of pricey. Speakers will need to be placed outside under a Gazebo. Wifi, and Bluetooth Proxy is available at that location.

Thanks

Are they waterproof? They will be outdoors.

Not tried this but it may do what you want???

Alternatively there are many esp32 based speakers available that will do sendspin, from aliexpress specials to bespoke setups just search google.
