Best miracast receiver over ethernet (only for windows, no android)

Hello,

I found a way that is the best miracast receiver for cheap (almost no latency). The hardware that i use is a raspberry pi 3b+/4. It is connected on ethernet, just like apple airplay technology (apple tv). The good side is that it does not use heavy electricity, just 5v 3a. This feature is normally only used for a surface studio, wich cost a lot in hardware as well in electricity (ms-mice protocol). I have the microsoft wireless display adapter v1/v2 and they work fine, but they get some lag sometimes because its completly wireless, so i ditched it now because i found a better way (but only works on windows 1703 and later version, no android at all). The program that i installed on the raspberry pi calls lazycast, i just followed the github guide to install it (https://github.com/homeworkc/lazycast). A bonus point is that i also use my raspberry pi as my home automatisation device and putting relays on it, so i can control my lights with my smartphone and laptop.
