This might be a really good deal as it can easily be modified to become voice controlled ala Alexa, etc. Wouldn't it be great to say, "Siri, play my Pandora channel!" An Instructable can be found at "www,instructables.com/id/DIY-Homepod-From-ANY-Speaker" The author uses an Apple iPhone to access Siri, but You could use an old android phone to access Cortana, or other systems. Sure hope this network speaker sounds good.
