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 have a couple of Pi Zeros around the house I use as media players. They were running piCorePlayer. I replaced just the software with a vanilla Pi OS and installed Squeezelite and then Wyoming Satellite. I added a microphone and an automation to silence the media player as soon as a wake word is detected.

Voice recognition is adequate but I wish it was smarter.

(I should finish that blog post...)
