Power Off command in App

[yannchris]

Hi,

I cannot find in the app a Power-Off button, as it exists on the remote controls.

If not present, it would be nice to have it.

What for? Energy consumption is the same "on" and "off". Just set the time until it goes into standby mode. I think a power button in the app is pretty useless.

Thank you for sharing your opinion on what is pretty useless, lol.

I on the other hand, don't find your question useless, pretty much the opposite, considering I use the 12v trigger chain to my DAC and my power amplifier. Complete energy consumption is therefor not the same in standby.

Sure, we can adjust the standby timer, but a simple "power off" or "standby" button, like on the remote shouldn't be that difficult to implement.

I will refrase my wife: Why can't it just do what the Yamaha used to do..

Because it is definitely not a Yamaha! I have a basic AVR and think the apps for it are best in class.

I agree with you. Just add power off and on buttons to the WiiM app. They have it on the remote control unit.

I really think a simple power off and on option are basic commands that should be included and honestly expected. It can be included in addition to the standby mode.

I don't use the wiim as my main zone so want to be able to turn it on and off even if it is detecting a signal. Having to turn the wiim to another input just so it isn't on seems like a weird workaround in this day and age.
