Allow 12V trigger to be controlled by standby mode status instead of playback

[bobster26]

I started using a WiiM Pro Plus four days ago. I'm hoping it can replace an old preamp.

According to the article linked below, the 12v trigger raises the voltage music starts playing, and reduces the voltage 2.5 minutes after music stops playing.

How to Use the 12V Trigger on WiiM Pro, WiiM Pro Plus, or WiiM Ultra?

Please add the option of instead having the voltage raised only when the WiiM awakens from standby mode and lowered when it enters standby mode (whether by pressing the button on the remote or using the Standby timer in the app), making this independent of playback mode.

This is how my preamp works - when you turn it on, it turns on the power amp. When you turn it off, it turns off the power amp. This makes much more sense.

With the current implementation, the first few seconds of music is cut off due to the time it takes the amplifier to turn on. Even if a delay is added to playback to compensate, I still strongly prefer that the trigger function be tied to Standby mode instead of playback. Perhaps there could be a choice of trigger modes.

EDIT: Also, please add to the WiiM Home app a button for entering/exiting standby mode, analogous to the one on the remote that comes with the WiiM Pro Plus.

EDIT 2: The WiiM Pro Plus does turn the amp off when it enters Standby mode via a press of the "Standby" button on the remote, so this part of the functionality is OK. But this makes it all the more confusing that pressing the button to wake it from Standby mode doesn't turn the amp on.

I submitted a ticket about this and am posting here to cover my bases. It is a feature request forum, after all.

Thanks!

Please send us feedback through the WiiM Home App when you encounter this issue, and I will have our engineers review the logs. Thanks

Logs?
We've been reporting this for years.

I actually gave up and bought a real preamp. Please send me a mini for my hardship.

I haven‘t read the whole thread so my answer may be superfluous. Sorry, just in case.

My Ultra actually only runs down the trigger when it goes into standby, just as you suggest it. I have my standby time set to 30 min.. Only then my amp will also shut down.

So maybe you should request an Ultra instead of a Mini for your hardship.

I already have an ultra. I already have a pro. I need the mini for my Bose soundlink max. So I can just velcro tape that bish to the back. Come on wiim be my Santa clause. Merica is getting screwed by our government, we broke.
