- Worth noticing
- The homepage describes network checks that flag speakers to watch and indicate where playback cut out during the week.
Field notes
The installation section offers Docker as the recommended route, a Home Assistant app, or a setup using Python and Node.js. The homepage also describes a network check that summarizes speaker status and recent playback interruptions, plus an S2 upgrade advisor that estimates replacement costs; these are presented as features, not independently verified here. The project says it is built by someone who uses it daily.
