So this Sunday morning i woke my entire house up at 630am...this did not go down well.
I use wiim as my multiroom system to the house.
Saturday evening i linked all the upstairs rooms together (ceiling speakers and wiim amps for every bedroom, landing, and bathrooms upstairs) and was pumping out the tunes all evening while the rest of the house was out enjoying their Saturday night.
I forgot to unlink the rooms before powering down and going to bed - my bad = ive already exposed this system issue before so i new expactly what was going on when.
At 6.30 am the internet radio station alarm clock went off in my bedroom on my wiim amp and ceiling speakers ....along with every other upstairs room in the house that was still linked to the device...i had to be up...everyone else did not..safe to say ...i was not popular at 630 this am!
This alarm clock needs some work.
A. This issue needs sorting ..devices need adding to the alarms settings menu. This way rooms can be grouped / unchecked for alarms as necessary. Rooms not selected should not be included- alarm needs to auto disconnect rooms grouped/attached to the alarm device , even if left previously grouped.
B. More alarms would be very useful. The wiim amp and pro plus seem to max out at 4 per device. I believe sonos has 30 or so per device? I like to have various alarms scheduled throughout the day - wake up to chill fm, morning news fm in the bathroom while brushing my teeth , come down to fav get up and go play list in the kitchen...even beats tidal playlist upstairs gently in the backgroud..etc etc etc..lots more alarms would allow so much more to this function.
A slight aside but still kind of related
'GROUPS' -
Yamaha music cast app had 'groups' functionality. Where preset multiroom groups could be added to create 'zones'. This way, rather than select mutliple devices every time you want to set a bunch together...if you do so regularly you can just toggle on and off the zone.
Id have the following groups as a minimum
'UPSTAIRS'
'DOWNSTAIRS'
'OUTSIDE'
Hey maybe they could be toggles within the devices menu of the alarms settings menu. This would hopefully help clear up another alarm clock issue in that - because i currently cant have groups - if i set the same alarm, for the same time, for the same Internet radio station. But in several devices alarms menu (where i want to wonder from room to room and listen to the same thing ) = you get horrendous sync issues that really scramble your brain...every single time. The must be down to the fact that you are not sharing one stream from one device..but each device is starting the same stream individually and buffering time or whatever is throwing each out a fair bit.
Would really love these issues looked at team wiim x
