12V trigger between WiiM ultra and Vibelink Amp

[Lucanorillo]

Hello.
I have a Wi-Fi Ultra and a Wi-Fi Vibelink amp.
I've connected a 12V trigger cable to the Wi-Fi, and I wanted to know what the difference is between having it connected and not having it connected, as I haven't noticed any difference in the power settings.
Thank you.

Hi @Lucanorillo,

After 30 minutes with no input signal the WiiM Vibelink Amp will go into standby mode. As soon a signal is applied it will wake up again.

But if no signal is applied after 60 minutes in total, the Vibelink Amp will go into a sleep mode, consuming even less energy. The downside is that you have to press the power button on the back for ~2 seconds to wake it up again. Unless you use a trigger cable!

With the trigger cable in place the WiiM Ultra can wake up the Vibelink Amp from its sleep state without the need to press the button on the back (or switch it on through the WiiM Home app).
