I’m looking for an affordable built in ceiling speaker that work with Homey. Does anyone has experience with this?

I know of the Sonos Sonance speakers, but they are €350 for a pair. And from what I read they still need the € 800 AMP to work properly.

I’m just looking for a single ceiling speaker that works with Homey. Or maybe there’s a way to convert a non Homey compatible ceiling speaker to a working Homey compatible spreker?

There are a few Homey apps to control AV receivers. AVRs could be used to control standard ceiling speakers. Of course, you will then need a supported AVR, which will probably not be any cheaper than the Sonos variant.

You mean a Google Nest Mini speaker? Would that work? That would be great. Can it be added to Homey?

I’m gonna try that. Thanks!

The option with the AV controllers is too expensive for me, because I don’t own one.
