Ray
The entry Sonos soundbar: optical input only, no microphones, no HDMI. It still joins the same Sonos system and appears in Home Assistant as a media_player, which makes it the cheapest way to put a controllable speaker in a small TV room.

Recipes that can use it
These recipes are built around other hardware, and pick this device up as an optional extra.
LG Dishwasher: Cycle Finished
Sends a Home Assistant push notification the moment your LG dishwasher finishes its cycle, so clean dishes get unloaded while they are still warm and dry instead of sitting overnight. Add a speaker and it announces the finished cycle out loud. Built around the LG ThinQ integration.
LG Dryer: Cycle Finished
Sends a Home Assistant push notification the moment your LG dryer finishes, so you unload it while the clothes are still warm and skip the wrinkles. Add a speaker and it announces the finished cycle out loud. Built around the LG ThinQ integration.
LG Fridge: Door Alert
Installs a Home Assistant automation that watches your LG fridge and freezer doors, straight from the ThinQ integration, and alerts you when one is left open longer than a grace period you set. Add lights and it flashes the room; add a speaker and it announces the warning out loud.
LG Washer: Cycle Finished
Sends a Home Assistant push notification the moment your LG washer finishes, so the wet load moves to the dryer before it starts to smell. Add a speaker and it announces the finished cycle out loud. Built around the LG ThinQ integration.
Selora AI Health Alert
Watches Selora AI's own Home Health sensor (sensor.selora_ai_home_health) and notifies you when your home's score is declining: a sustained drop below your warning score, a fall past your critical score, or a sharp drop in a single reassessment while the score is still healthy. Add a speaker and critical alerts are announced out loud.
Water Leak Alert
Installs a Home Assistant automation that watches every water leak sensor you select and alerts you the moment one goes wet, naming the spot so you know where to look. Add a speaker and the same warning is announced out loud.
