Music Assistant

Support tier: B (Home Assistant supported)

What this is

Music Assistant is a powerful music system that can unify multiple speakers/targets and give you a consistent “play everywhere” experience.

Why it’s useful in a van

  • Multi-room (or multi-zone) audio in a small space
  • Simple dashboard controls (volume, play/pause, sources)
  • Works well even on local networks with flaky internet (depending on providers)

Extra hardware required

  • None required (but you’ll want at least one speaker/endpoint: Sonos, Chromecast, Bluetooth receiver, etc.)
