Can it be voice controlled in Google Home environment?

Can it be voice controlled in Google Home environment?

Yes, it can be voice-controlled via an external Google/Nest Audio device.

 

[WiiM Support]

Thank you BillyBird for clearing that up!

That was what I expected It’s the same technology (Linkplay = WIIM = Audio Pro)

Hi LinkUser, Team

The equation Linkplay = WiiM = Audio Pro isn't entirely accurate. There are numerous features on WiiM and WiiM Edition devices that aren't available on other Linkplay products, largely due to the frequent updates WiiM provides. Additionally, the Audio Pro app cannot guarantee future compatibility with WiiM devices. The best way to use WiiM/WiiM Edition devices is through the WiiM Home App, which is frequently updated alongside the device firmware to fix bugs and introduce new features. Hope this helps clarify things!

Thanks for clarifying that, as I thought the equality was an over simplification

For me that means that it cannot be voice controlled.
I cannot replace a Google speaker with this one if I need the voice control.

Just to clarify - I installed the Audio Pro app solely to test a question raised above. Audio Pro app now uninstalled.

The Only reason I purchased the WiiM Ultra is for it's ability to be a Lyrion Music Server (LMS) endpoint via Squeezelite.

You might be able to use the google assistant app to voice control it, although when I tried it yesterday I had to put the device in a room of its own and play to the room. Plus I don’t think it supports voice control of Amazon Music which makes it a no go-er for me…

 

[Doublej]

If (big if) Google's voice control works in a similar manner to Amazon Alexa, you should be able to voice control any device in the ecosystem by speaking the command and the device name you want to execute the command on.

I wonder..audio pro is a company which stands for quality but als wireless connectivity.
Will there be more from WIIM and Audio pro?
Will the other models have an update..so that they have all the functionality,updates through the WIIM app?
Is this possible a ' older, speaker model will get this update?
Well see..for now in looking forward when the speakers will be available in Europe.

Doesn't look like existing Audio Pro speakers will get the WiiM update (see comment #10) if that's what you mean

I emailed AudioPro support last week about the forthcoming WiiM edition of the A10 (as I have 3x vanilla A10s already), and they had never heard of the WiiM edition. I remain interested in understanding the real actual differences, as I suspect it's just custom firmware.
Meanwhile we still need some fixes to basic functionality of the app, like proper que management and shuffle play...

How can that be they never heard of it? Maybe call them.., it seems they now but won,t tell? Did you email someone who isn,t well informed?
They are available as i understand..not in Europe yet.
Look it up on the internet and there you have the proof there is an WIIM edition. Call them i would say..with this proof beside you.
Strange Audio pro say they don,t know...they know but maybe the person who emailed you back wasn,t well informed. I think he,she should be..

There are also EQ presets as well as graphic and parametric settings. Upcoming patent-pending features unique to WiiM will soon include Automatic Room Correction and Advanced Bass Management

Pricing & Availability: The WiiM Edition Audio Pro A10 in Dark Gray costs $229 while the C10 MKII in Black sells for $399. Both are available for pre-sale now on Amazon.

A Wiim edition as mentioned in this article.

As mentoined on Amazon..works with Wiim..there you see the audio pro is recognized within the wiim app.

Model Name	C10 MKII-WiiM Edition Speaker

Wiim is a app that works very well..and its very important. The support is very good. Hardware is important..very important but the same can be said about the software,support that comes with the hardware.

As far as Amazon.us is concerned, the WiiM Edition is a product sold by WiiM, not by AudioPro. (The WiiM Edition does not exist in the official AudioPro store.)

So I wouldn't be surprised if the AudioPro support people didn't know about it (yet).

Needless to say, many companies only support the products they sell.

Thanks for you,re reply. I must say in my opinion i can,t understand they don,t know. I assume the person who send the email was,t well informed.

I think he,she should know.
But thats my opinion.
Is a brand with passion for audio then you should know all about it if you work for support of AudioPro. Thats what i think.
The passion is also that you are very well informed.

Yes, please do not misunderstand me, I am not arguing against you.

However, if Linkplay is responsible for all support of the WiiM editions,

I think AudioPro may not be involved in this product at all.

"I think AudioPro may not be involved in supporting the WiiM editions."

Hopefully @WiiM Support, @RyanWithWiim can clarify this point.

Comment #10 suggests there are hardware differences too

Thank you again for you,r reply Wiimer. As always highly appreciated.
Do you think they are not involved at all? Cant imagine they aren,t.

Maybe Wiim support,or RyanwithWiim can say more about this ,you are right.

Youre right. Hardware is different. Its a Wiim edition not the same as the 'regular' audio pro version.
WIIM edition build for WIIM OS.
I,ll wait for the WIIM edition will be available in Europe.

I may have worded it wrong...

"I think AudioPro may not be involved in supporting the WiiM editions."

Sorry, English is very difficult for me.
