Issues with Google Home

[Andy Sutherland]

I’m having issues getting the device to be found by Google home. It appears as a local device on the Google app, but I don’t have the option of adding it to a group or a room, so cannot control it with voice commands. (I’ve named it Kitchen Speaker)

Settings >Devices, Groups, Rooms

Can you add a device to a room here?

Probably a silly question, but have you activated Chromecast in the WiiM Home App?

Hi, yes….

Hi, yes….

I think that can be part of the issue on iOS apparently. Check out the link I posted above.

Hi. Brilliant, that has 99% resolved it. It still won’t play if I ask it to play on that speaker, but will if I ask it to play on the group it’s now in… Google eh….
