Note: This project is continuously evolving, and thus this readme will likely be improved over time, as I find the inspiration to make adjustments. That being said, I'm sure there will be many errors that I have overlooked or sections that I haven't updated.
Speaker Select V3 is an evolution of the speaker select projects which aim to provide a smart device accessible speaker selector hardware. For those who need to be able to select different pairs of stereo speakers to output to. Earlier versions of this project were based off of existing speaker selector hardware. This version has it's own hardware design.
This project utilizes a Raspberry Pi Zero W (or even the new Pi Zero W 2!), plugged into a custom PCB with high power relays to switch between speaker outputs (and speaker protection).
- Stereo Speaker Input selectable to Four Stereo Speaker Outputs
- Auto speaker protection for configurations where impedance drops below 4 ohms
- Web UI for remote control of speaker output accessible from any modern browser (phone, computer, tablet, etc.)
- Local API for usage by automation software like Home Assistant (example HA configuration provided)
- External API for usage by IFTTT or other automation (use at your own risk)
- Buttons for physical output control
- IR Remote capability for using IR remote input (example configuration provided for use with Harmony remote)
- Easy configuration via WebUI
- Auto-Dark Mode for WebUI based on your location
- Auto-Install Script
- 3D Printable Case
Here is a screenshot of the dashboard:
A 3D printed enclosure is available for download. Here is the back of the finished product:

Of course, none of this project would be available without the wonderful and amazing folks below. If I forgot anyone please don't hesitate to let me know.
