Stereo receiver help

Looking for some insight into what type of receiver I can get without spending a thousand dollars.

Essentially what I want is a receiver that will have capability to control different volumes in 2 different zones and have Wi_Fi connectivity for streaming music.

The house has 2 sets of built in ceiling speakers: 2 on back patio and 2 in the den. Both hard wired and run into a closet next to internet modem. These will be for playing music/ sports on radio. No surround sound or tv connectivity necessary.

From what I understand most of the cheaper receivers like the Sony strdh190 have ability to play 2 sets of speakers and turn off one or the other but they will be at same volume. This option also only has Bluetooth. I would like to be able to play music louder in back without having the inside sound like a loud bar.

Most of the receivers I have looked at with similar capabilities have a floor of $800 and get much more expensive. Most of these also are built for surround sound which I don’t need.

Are there any reasonably priced Wi_Fi receivers that fit my needs? Or is a better option to buy a Wiim and set it up with cheap receiver and buy additional device like an external monoprice 2 channel with volume control? I assume this option would not give me ability to Control volume remotely on phone though.

I have also a looked at the onkyo tx-8260 which has Wi_Fi and DTS- play fi ability. Would this DTS play fi music app be able to suit my needs?

On a side note could any of the receivers or the Wiim play through the hard wired speakers but also be connected to Sonos if we wanted to add additional sound wirelessly?

Clearly i sound like an idiot so any help is appreciated. This stuff is completely out of my wheelhouse. TIA
