Airplay - Wiim Mini

[Ashton]

Hi , just received & set up my Wiim mini . All working fine but can't see the mini when I try to connect via Airplay to any of my IOS devices ( iPhone , iPad , MacBook ) Any thoughts ? Cheers

I'm not sure what "All working fine" means. Did you connect the Mini to your Wi-Fi? Are you able to connect to any other service? Is Bluetooth working?

Have you added it to the Apple Home app as per this faq entry: https://faq.wiimhome.com/en/support...-device-to-the-apple-home-app-as-an-accessory

I think you mean "can't see the mini when I try to connect via Airplay from/on any of my IOS devices" and by "all working fine" I think you mean that playing/streaming other services works on the mini so a working wifi (internet) connection is already in place. Is the wifi connection to a static device like a router on a home network or maybe the mini's wifi is connected via one of the i-devices?
Configuring/using the Apple Home app is not necessary for it to appear as an Airplay endpoint, that should just work (does for other users/me) that's "only" a cool way of integrating a WiiM into a smart home setup and to operate it using Siri.

Correct, I have never done this, nor do I feel the need to do it, as I don’t use any voice “assistants” in my home.
