AirSonos on the Raspberry Pi
20 Feb 2016I just posted about my little Raspberry Pi server.
The other thing I’m running on it currently is AirSonos. We love our Sonos Playbar sitting beneath our TV. We use it all the time.
But it doesn’t support Airplay, and sometimes you want to use Airplay. I’ll get home from work listening to a podcast on Overcast. I walk in and want to play it on the Sonos while I clean or cook dinner. I can use headphones. I can turn on the TV and Apple TV, and Airplay it to the Apple TV to listen to it through the Sonos.
Or, using the little raspi home server running AirSonos, I can now Airplay it directly to the Sonos. It’s pretty awesome. There’s a little lag when you start it up, but once it gets going, it works swimmingly.
The little raspi is turning into a wonderful addition to our home. I find new uses for it every day (maybe this is next).
