What’s funny is that the WiiM remote is the most basic remote you can have. Nothing fancy/difficult… yet it’s Bluetooth only and is the ONLY physical remote you can use with their products. Even Apple opened up their proprietary Bluetooth remote to Logitech (assuming they needed to work with...
Well… the only advantage is setting up a Harmony Activity pointing to this ‘device’ on your remote, setting the AVR to right input at least ;) Baby steps in hopefully getting full integration at some point …
Totally agree. I have quite a few repurposed tablets scattered around to just be a display for ‘what’s playing?’ with simple controls to pause/play/skip. At my desk I use an 8” Fire tablet in wireless charging dock that fits under my computer monitor which works perfectly for Roon and Sonos...
Yeah … I always have to Force Quit the app on Mac (Intel Mac here) :cautious: I’m also hoping for an auto-update and/or ‘check for updates’ function in the app so we know when a new release is out there (it’s manual now).
Not sure if this is relevant or useful, but for those with Amazon tablets I did install an AppStore in order to get the WiiM app (I think Aurora - I don’t have access to my tablets right now until I get back home). In looking at WiiM’s download store for Mac and Windows, there is an APK link as...
An update to my experiment (in short: a failure). I got the Era 100 and love it - great sounding speaker. I updated my whole Sonos system from S1 to S2 (my Connect stays at S1). I was hoping to use the Era 100 as both a Sonos system speaker AND as just a ‘dumb’ powered speaker for WiiM using the...
@WiiM Support - for HDMI ARC specified above, can you please confirm that there will be no HDMI Out (for multi-channel audio)? Just so that I can set the proper expectations in my brain for what this device will offer … :unsure: Thanks.
It’s a Direct Stream - works really well. I don’t like using AirPlay because it eventually loses connection from the device you‘re AirPlaying from. Chromecast works much better for this reason alone (which you are probably aware of already). I just wish my WiiM Mini had Chromecast built-in as well.
In the meantime, it works pretty well to cast from Plexamp to Chromecast on WiiM (I setup a ’WiiM Speakers’ group in the Google Home app to cast to them all at once). I also do this with the SiriusXM app. Of course I can’t wait for this all to just be built into WiiM to make it much more seamless.
In the Google Home app (which I really really really hate ;) ), you just need to create a Speaker Group once and it will always be there to cast to from wherever (SiriusXM app, Roon, etc.). It stays permanent once setup (and I agree that it’s not intuitive to setup):
In iOS:
-Google Home app...
I finally tried this and it works. I never use the Google Home app (it’s ugly :sick:), but I setup my 3 WiiMs (2 Pros, 1 Pro Plus) as a Speaker Group in the Home app, and then in the SiriusXM app was able to see that Chromecast Speaker Group to cast directly. Works well … I can see what’s...
With the 20% off sale Sonos is running now, I can get a Sonos Era 100 for $200. Thinking about replacing my IKEA SYMFONISK (gen1) speaker for the Era 100, and use the line-in input with a WiiM (mini for now, but Pro Plus down the line). The Era 100 offers a lot more flexibility for a powered...
Well I finally hooked up my new WiiM Pro Plus to my kitchen AudioEngine A5+ speakers to replace the WiiM Pro and did a fair amount of A/B comparisons between the Pro and Pro Plus. I could notice a pretty good improvement in sound using the Pro Plus over the Pro with the analog out connection, so...
