I had an idea that cost too much for me using a few Raspberry Pi 0 W and presence detectors so that you could stream your music to/from your RPi/Media Server and it would play in whatever room you are in or move to.

The cost of the detectors was about 80€ a piece, that plus the speakers make it pretty expensive and it would be difficult to use in a family home where not everyone might want to listen to the same thing.

I tend to listen to podcasts and audiobooks a lot so it would be nice to be able to seemlessly continue listening while doing chores about my flat/home.
