Music Assistant
What it does
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)
How to install
-
None required (but you’ll want at least one speaker/endpoint: Sonos, Chromecast, Bluetooth receiver, etc.)
-
Install Music Assistant (server/add-on) and the HA integration
