The "pflanzi" project
Looks like a normal plant in a pot, but it's more than that - an audio streamer and speaker with additional features! It combines software, hardware and 3D-printing to an open, modular, customizeable DIY technology solution.
Idea
There are so many audio speakers in the market but most of them are restricted/limited in functionality or not open to modify them. In nearly all appartments and rooms are plants or artificial plants. Why not combining both?
(The project name is a modification of the german word for plant)
Impressions
A pot with an insert for different speakers and electronics. The optional front element can host a camera. On top an artificial plant of a big Swedish furniture company...
Software
All Open Source!
Bluetooth A2DP, DLNA/UPnP, AirPlay, Snapcast, Spotify Connect (only with premium account) and a webcam streamer.
