This is a perfect use case for MQTT, e.g. this library for ESP boards. Create a broker on the network (e.g. a Raspberry Pi running Mosquitto, and have all the ESP boards subscribe to a topic. When you want to play a sound, publish a message to the topic, and all of the ESPs should see it very quickly. You don't need to synchronize clocks any more because it's simply based on the timing of publishing a message.

While working on a personal project Komponist, I was due to update Mosquitto MQTT Broker due to a CVE and found some interesting changes that will impact me in the future when it comes to configuring the Broker. This post provides a solution to make the Broker compatible with future versions using new and less visited concepts in Docker Compose v2, namely:

Optional: Mosquitto, an open-source message broker that implements the MQTT protocol; this tutorial uses the public test server

I think he means implementation of MQTT protocol, like https://mosquitto.org/

Could MQTT work for you? You'd need a broker like Mosquitto, and then any of a number of MQTT clients.

Apparently the same issue has been reported with Philips TV [1] and Fritz!Box [2] as well.

The plug would transmit power readings to my Home Assistant setup.

Home Assistant can cast dashboard/media/etc to your display and has shopping lists. https://www.home-assistant.io/

If you provided MQTT support like plenty of IoT companies do, then any open source home automation tool can integrate! Home Assistant (https://www.home-assistant.io/) have a grading system, so a local-first implementation would give you their highest score since they also really care about privacy. https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/2016/02/12/classifying-th...

It's hard not to raise a little smile at Google's automation scripts, which bare a not-entirely-passing resemblance to those of a certain other, more comprehensive home automation system...
