AirPlay 2 Speaker is expensive. Why not build it on your own?

I re-use my old laptop to run the AirPlay2 software Shairport-Sync(Open Source Project) and output the audio to my speaker.

You use a Raspberry PI zero 2 to run the software as an alternative.

Sorry, I don't have any experience with that.
Maybe you can search it on Github.

Try 28BYJ-48 Stepper Motor with ULN2003 Driver Board using Arduino and AccelStepper.

Also includes examples with constant and acceleration.

Just upgrade to a smart wall switch.

I have issues with Docker Desktop using it with Home Assistant and Shairport-Sync, but not with Docker Engine.
I always thought these two products were the same. Just the Docker Desktop with better UI. However, they are not.

Yeah. I use Arduino, ESP8266, and RC522 Module to build an RFID cloner and save some money.

A small project to demonstrate how to power ESP-01S(ESP8266) with battery and HT7833 voltage regulator.

Orange Pi Zero 3 like the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W but has 4GB Ram is good value? Orange Pi Zero 3 4GB RAM may be a good alternative for Raspberry Pi 4.
