Alarm - Fade in and fade out

[rockthehouse]

I would like the option to fade in an alarm, and fade out when the alarm duration is complete.

I think it makes sense to also include an adjustable fade duration. This could be implemented a few ways; you could start the fade before the alarm goes off (hitting the target volume at alarm time), or start the fade at alarm time. Either way it would be a less jarring alarm than starting at target volume, and eventually cutting to 0.

Alarm fade out would be fantastic.

I use alarms to play music at night to fall asleep to, when it stops suddenly (alarm ends) it’s not a pleasant experience. So a fade to off would really be great.

That is more like a "sleep" function than an alarm function. Isn't there a sleep function available in the WiiM app?

A sleep has to be turned on whilst music is playing and not automatic like and alarm with a fade out.

Senario… automatically playing relaxing music at a set time every night, drift off to sleep whilst listening and at the end of alarm it fades out not waking me back up. A bit like the sleep function but involves no phone / tablet / remote.

The sleep timer also ends playback immediately, so yes, it's there but it behalves just the same.

That was badly designed then.

I never tried if "Fade-in & fade-out effects" would make a difference here, but
a) I doubt it and
b) I don't want that enabled in general.

Can't say I'm overly bothered, though.
