Wyoming Satellites - What's your go-to purchase? in c/homeassistant@lemmy.world

I only have one at the moment. I bought a cheap Dell Wyse thin client from eBay, installed a light Linux distro on it and set it up as a Wyoming Satellite and as a snapcast client. That is connected to an old all in one mini HiFi for speakers. For the mic I just have a small omnidirectional USB mic plugged into the front. Biggest hassle setting it up was ALSA since snapcast and Wyoming were fighting over the devices

I can only speak for myself but the upcoming ICE ban was a factor in my recent EV purchase. I intend to keep my car for a long time so as we move closer to the ban more and more cars will be EVs so I didn't want to be left behind.

The other aspects you mentioned were also factors. Particularly after a test drive and feeling the acceleration and quietness of the car.
