• sonos Api node-sonos-http-api
• homme assistant (todo, change from hoveeman/music-cards)

Requires

software:

• python evdev. To install:

wget http://dl.piwall.co.uk/python-evdev_0.4.1-1_armhf.deb
dpkg -i python-evdev_0.4.1-1_armhf.deb

hardware:

• Raspberry Pi Zero (Don't forget micro sd card and power supply)

Remark : see on original project https://github.com/hoveeman/music-cards for printable rfid cards

####Raspberry Limitaion Please note that Raspberry Pi Zero is insufficient to run both the Home Assistant and and the rfid scanner. It is recommend you use a Raspberry Pi 3 if you intend to run both at the same time.

Test has to be done with node-sonos-http-api and rfid scanner, they should run together on all raspberry.
