Thats great but I wonder who would leave leave there computer running 24/7 for an azan service. Turning monitor off would not help enough. Can you think of running this service on a raspberry pi?

Raspberry version is ready. please let me know if you want to test it...www.Smartazan.com

@highwingers Also download multiple Azaan MP3 locally on computer in Data folder instead of referencing it on your website you are assuming every machine will be connected to public internet which will have access to internet always. You can give user an option through your UI to update local machine whenever you have any update on your website that way each install is not dependent on your website and can run independently without any external dependency.

Google Home Speakers will NOT play local files, it has to hosted on HTTP server. Now I can install local web server to host files, however users would run into many issues (Such as LAN's VLAN;s Firewall etc etc). This is why I left the Adhan file field editable, so users can feel free to host their Adhan anywhere they want.

If you're going the Home Assistant route, you can install it on a variety of devices: see here

@highwingers' SmartAzan.com has a variety of devices you can use if you only want the adhan played (note: I haven't tried this method).

I have a linux computer, what is the route I should take for that? Also do I really need to create a virtual machine for home assistant?
