Amniotic
A multi-output ambient sound mixer for Home Assistant.
Amniotic lets you use a single device to create on-the-fly, custom ambient audio mixes - e.g. mixing Waterfall sounds with Birdsong on one media player entity, while playing Fireplace sounds from a second audio device - to suit your tastes and environment.
The library integrates with Home Assistant via MQTT as a new device, allowing you to create and control ambient mixes from the Home Assistant interface.
Why Would I Want Such a Thing?
I won't explain the general reasons for introducing non-musical sounds into one's environment, but if you find sound masking helps you concentrate in noisy environments, if you're (as I am) slightly misophonic, if you use white noise machines to induce sleep or relaxation, or if you just think sound is an important factor in setting a pleasant ambience, then you might find Amniotic useful.
Can't I do This with Spotify, Volumio, HifiBerry etc.?
Since those systems are intended for music, they aren't designed for playing or mixing multiple streams simultaneously with a single device, even if set up in multi-room configurations. Also, the streaming services often won't allow a single account to play multiple streams, even if multiple devices are used.
Anyway, those limitations motivated this library.
There are two ways to install and run Amniotic:
- On the Home Assistant machine itself, as an add-on.
- Install manually, on a separate machine.
