Hi all,
I have been interested in building a raspberry pi home assistant for some time. I had originally planned to use the Alexa on Pi setup but stumbled upon Mycroft and think it might be a better fit.
My basic setup would be a ps3 Eye as the audio input and a bluetooth speaker (UE Boom) as the audio output. AFAIK this setup is completely possible with mycroft.
So far I have some basic ideas of how I want to use this. Most I have been able to find as doable however there are a few specific uses I am unsure if they work with Mycroft.
1. Can I access my google play music account to stream music?
2. Can I search youtube and stream the video to my speaker?
3. Does mycroft work on the new raspberry pi zero wireless board? Or is a raspberry pi 3 strongly recommended?
4. Once I get Picroft 0.8 installed on my Pi, whats the next step? Does everything just work or do I need to “teach” or install skills? Is there a guide on this?
Thanks for the help!

Hey PiGuy,
Thanks for finding us! It sounds like you’re in the right place.
To get to some of your questions:
1. It’s possible, but I don’t know of anyone who’s done it yet.
2. Yes. There are a few youtube skills you can try on the skills repository.
[https://github.com/MycroftAI/mycroft-skills](https://github.com/MycroftAI/mycroft-skills)
3. Some people have said that it works on the zero, but I haven’t tested it myself yet, so not sure. I would recommend the RPi3.
4. There are some basic skills that come pre-loaded. For anything else you’ll have to download them from the skills repo.
For a setup guide, checkout our docs:
> **[Mycroft Documentation - Mycroft](https://mycroft.ai/documentation/)**
>
> Documentation for all Mycroft products and modules, including Mycroft Core for Linux, Picroft for Raspberry Pi, and how to build Mycroft Skills.
To install skills, you can either use msm or just git clone into the skills folder. There isn’t exactly a guide for this, but sounds like something that we should get up soon.
