Wyoming Satellites - What's your go-to purchase? (poptalk.scrubbles.tech)

Curious to see how many people here are using Wyoming Satellites, and if so, what are you doing to build/house them?

I have a sample one working on an old pi and a computer speaker hooked up, with my primary Blue mic. Obviously this isn't long term, and I'm looking at building a few of these.

So, what do you use? Raspberry pi? Some sort of hat on it? What sort of casing do you use? Any really cool implementations? I'll take all ideas and suggestions!

I am making an esphome system for my old Yamaha AV receiver. RCA out via a cheap i2s chip, mems I2S mic in the enclosure that can hear well enough in the room, and an IR blaster output to change the AV receiver channel to the esp when voice is activated and change it back after.

Cool side effect is that it can also be used as an HA media player for streaming Spotify and local music to the speaker system.

This sounds like a good solution for my receiver too, I want some satellites around the house but I was wondering how I would hook it up to the main system
