homewide sound system

I use this. Some kid wrote a python program that controls it over an rs232
dongle connected to a pi/PC. I containerized it and have it running
alongside my other home automation containers. It's a little pricey but
gives fantastic sound. I have 2 Chromecast audios as my inputs (I know, I
know). So any input of the 6 can be directed to any of the six zones. You
can also run all 6 zones off of the same input if you choose. The local
control stations connect over cat5e but aren't networked.  I've been very
happy with it.
