All this works on a Raspberry Pi equipped with a simple camera. I saw a lot of project on garage door openings during my research to create this list. It’s a project that is not easy to implement, but it must be nice to complete. Well, the goal of this project is to try to do the same thing for a lot less. But there are many components to buy, which you’ll then need to connect and assemble properly.
How to build a streaming media or home theater system with Raspberry... It’s not an exhaustive list as there is almost no limit, for example Raspberry Pi at home are often used for 3D printing, file server or whole network ad-blocker. For example, I also saw projects that distribute food to fish at predefined times or even auto-refill ideas. It’s a company that now offers a whole range of products around the connected home, but it was mainly known for its smart thermostats. You can build a music player with your Raspberry Pi and some basic hardware (basically a 3B+ starter kit will be enough). As you can see in the photo of the installation above, it’s not a simple project to put in place, but it’s worth it.
How To Make Home Theater Using Raspberry Pi?
I’m using it for three years and it’s an excellent product, I’m pleased with it. If you don’t already know, Philips Hue is a smart lights concept. It’s the concept Kodi, an open-source home theater software that you can easily use on Raspberry Pi OS, OSMC or LibreElec. Once saved to your PC, unzip and run the installer.exe file. You should have already followed our previous guide on installing the Debian distro for Raspberry Pi and got yourself up and running. Now available with 2.4GHz 802.11n wireless LAN or pre-soldered headers for even more flexibility in your projects.
We often imagine a smart home with automatic lights and screens everywhere. Deputy Editor for Security, Linux, DIY, Programming, and Tech Explained, and Really Useful Podcast producer, with extensive experience in desktop and software support. Christian is a Raspberry Pi tinkerer, Lego lover and retro gaming fan. Now we will configure Kodi so that we can control our home theatre through our mobile phone or tablet.

I also have an entire tutorial with 3 ways to install Spotify here. Well, it is possible to use a Raspberry Pi to manage intelligence on this kind of project. Overall, it’s mainly a coding project, to get the values on different web services . You may control the button with your smartphone or other apps like Alexa or IFTTT.
It catalogs and prepares a home media collection that can consist of videos, music, podcasts, and photos. With the help of clients, the server also sends the media to devices like smart TVs, streaming boxes, and mobile devices. Plex makes clients available for numerous devices, play consoles, and platforms, including Android, iOS, Fire TV, and Windows Phone, as well as Xbox and PlayStation. Additionally, the Plex Home Theater offers Kodi-based media software that runs on Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows. RasPlex is based on OpenELEC and brings the Plex standard client to the Raspberry Pi, although conceptually, RasPlex operates very differently .
Get Christmas-Themed Watch Faces for Your Wear OS Smartwatch With These Festive Apps
The tutorial presented in the link below will let you know all the steps to follow. You’ve probably seen these Christmas decoration videos that are all the rage in December. This is the goal of this project, that will email you each time someone rings your door, with the person’s photo. The purpose of this project is to create a desktop notification’s manager. This one is not an entire project, but an idea to have in mind when you start a new project.
Raspbmc comes from popular media center software XBMC ported to the Raspberry Pi. Therefore the user interface and functions are basically the same. Your SD card will display in the installation window, select the small square in front of the SD card item, click Install, the software will install Raspbmc on the SD card. When the “Congratulations” message appears, you can remove the card and plug it into your Raspberry Pi. The tutorial shown in the link below explains the prerequisites, the step-by-step procedure and provides you the complete source code.

As such the user interface and functionality of the software is more or less identical. Going to the cinema an hour before the showtime and buying the tickets is indeed a very hectic job. When you have your home theater there is no need to find a parking place or wait in a long queue for buying tickets. In a dedicated home theater, the gaming experience is very much enjoyable, video games become more immersive. The big screen in front of you and the surrounding sound will have you feeling like you are present in the stadium.
Yeah I tried raspberry pi for home theater, and by no means is the 4 at a point any normal person could use it for a media center. No Netflix is the first killer, but then as others point out the video decoding, and other functions like her really kill the deal. While we always have a few Raspberry Pi computers at hand for making robots and cooking gadgets, or just simply coding a Scratch game, there’s always at least one in the house powering a TV.
I created this site to share with you what I learned about it. I am a Linux system administrator, and I am passionate about the Raspberry Pi and all projects on this topic. Be careful though, I think this is the only project on this list that uses high voltage circuits.
I have a raspberry pi 4 connected to my tv, hoping to use it for streaming. Unfortunately Britbox videos will not play with either Chromium or Firefox browsers. Plex, together with the Plex server, transforms the media center into a well-rounded multimedia system . Pictures, videos, and music have their own menus, and there is a small software that can receive weather conditions in three places.
If your TV does not support HDMI-CEC, allowing you to use your TV remote to control Kodi, then this nifty wireless keyboard is extremely helpful. Plug the USB dongle into your Raspberry Pi, turn on the keyboard, and that’s it. Only Raspberry Pi 4 can output at 4K, so it’s important to remember this when deciding on which Raspberry Pi to choose. Presumably you will display movies or whatever via the HDMI output, so you need another output for your 2.5" display.
Ok, the guy who shared this project has made funny pictures, but he also had good ideas. This installation replaces perfectly a complete video surveillance system of the market, for a reasonable budget. But in this one, you’ll learn how to build a complete home surveillance system and manage all cameras from one central system. Volumio will allow you to play local music or audio stream from the internet .
