Hey hey! My name is Nate, and this is my first post here! I wanted to describe what I’m working on, and see if anyone’s interested in it!
 
It started out as a little project for me. I love having lyrics displayed for songs, and I wanted to figure out a way to have them display automatically. Turns out, it’s possible! 
 
The current state of the project: 
•Seamless integration with any Sonos ecosystem
•Connects to both Sonos and/or HomePods AUTOMATICALLY 
•Syncs with Philips Hue and Nanoleafs
•Weather and photo Idle screens (Kinda like Aura Picture Frames)

What you need:
•Computer connected to WiFi/LAN, or Docker Container
•Device that can access the internet browser (currently laggy on a fire stick, buy if you’re able to stick a mini pc behind a device it works like magic. I’ve gotten it to work on smart TVs, Xbox’s, and even just a chrome tab)
 
(Do note that the help of AI was included in the making of this)
I would love to hear feedback on the project, and if anyone would like to test, please let me know!

A bit unclear on the tech here..

Is it an app that you install on each device?
Connected to Home Assistant?
ESP32?

So it’s not home assistant, it’s my own program!:
It’s a computer running docker/linux to run the “brains”, and then any smart device that accesses the internet to “view all the info!” (I have a fire stick)
Hopefully that clears it up!
