Runeaudio Bathroom Install

Postby shaneaj » 18 Apr 2016, 08:33

Hi,

I am working out how to get some music into my bathroom to help drown out the roar for the exhaust fan.

I'd love to be able to do a touch screen or one of those magic mirrors. You could see the weather/news play music or stream Breakfast TV etc.

As we plan to remodel in a couple of years I'm not wanting to spend a lot right now.

My idea is to drive a couple of speakers from the Pi or via an amp.

I don't want to have to take a smart phone into the bathroom though fear of dropping or getting it wet. I'd probably set up the playlist via a smartphone before going into the bathroom. But I'd like to be able to control volume, pause and skip tracks via some sort of water resistant/proof remote control.

I planned on placing the Pi in a central location so am thinking that a wifi or blue tooth remote would be best. Its about a 10m cable run to the bathroom so a a IR extender may work as well?

As anyone done an install like this? Can any one suggest a type of remote control?

Love to hear your ideas or suggestions

Cheers

Shane

Hi shanea,

i would use an Raspberry Pi2/3 for this.
Our RuneAudio mage for these devices has support for a local browser.
The output is optimized for the official 7" TFT touch display, but also works for other displays (HDMI).
Also included in our image is support for multimedia remotes.

As amplifier i would recommend a Hifiberry AMP+ or a IQAudio Pi-DigiAMP+.

Implementing a weather forecast and other information should be not to hard.
