Help with WiiM and Alexa

[jperfetti]

I bought a new pro plus. Set it up on same WiFi as Alexa speakers. I can stream to WiiM but can't figure out how to get it to play on my Alexa speakers. They are in same group on same network in Alexa app. Any suggestions?

It's been a while. I remember having to browse to Alexa in the WiiM app where you choose your music source and enabling it.

Are you sure you have the echos and WiiM in a multi room music group (created via “combine speakers” in the Alexa app) and not just a room/device group? You should be able to ask Alexa to play to the group e.g. “Alexa, play music in the lounge” just as if it were a group of echos.

Maybe posting a screenshot of your group from the Alexa app would help us understand what you have done so far

That's a device group, not an Alexa multi room music (MRM) group and as shown should only play on Streamer and Sound System if you made a request to play music from any of the echo devices in the group (or indeed any echo you have by adding "on Charleston" to the request)

Try instead setting up an Alexa MRM group by choosing "+" on the devices page in the Alexa app, then "Combine speakers" and adding all the Echos and WiiM device(s) you wish to play together, and finally giving your MRM group a unique name, say "Downstairs". You should then be bale to ask any of your Echos "Alexa, play music downstairs".

(I note that you have your devices on different networks which Alexa doesn't appear to handle as per this MRM troubleshooting page.

Also, as it stands can you successfully ask any echo to "play music on streamer"?
