Feature Request: Standby Mode via API or App

[AssafAviv]

Hi WiiM team and community,

I’m using the WiiM Ultra as the core of my audio system, and I love it — great device!

One thing I’m really missing is the ability to put the device into Standby mode via the Web API. My entire setup is triggered based on the streamer’s state, and without an API command (like enterStandbyMode or similar), I have no way to power things down cleanly without using the remote.

It would also be super helpful to have a Standby button in the WiiM Home app – currently, we only have physical or remote options.

Would love to see this added in a future update — it would really improve automation and usability.

Thanks again for a great product!

Doesn’t setShowdown:0 do that for you?

Thanks for the suggestion! I tried using setShutdown:0, but unfortunately this command completely powers off the device, rather than putting it into Standby mode.

What I’m really looking for is a way to enter Standby mode, like what happens when you press the power button on the remote — where the device is still “soft off” and can be quickly woken up.

A full shutdown breaks the flow of my automated setup, since it requires a full reboot and isn’t as seamless.

So ideally, we’d have a command like enterStandbyMode, or even a simple button in the app that mimics the remote’s power button behavior.

Thanks again for the help — hope the dev team can consider this in a future update!
