Please Please!! add a power button to the WiiM Home App (Like the red button in the physical remote control)

[AssafAviv]

I would like to request the addition of a power button in the app interface, similar to the red power button available on the physical remote control. This feature would provide a convenient way to turn the device on or off directly from the app, enhancing usability and user experience for those who rely on the app for control.

Thank you for considering this request!

Yes, that would be nice.
When I use the iPeng app to play from LMS I can use its on/off button to switch the Ultra off, so I guess it’s not impossible to implement.

It does not turn it off. It just go to standby. For the WiiM Ultra it also turn the screen of but that's all.

Most tech with remotes or network connection just go into Standby. Most still call that "OFF".
Anything connected to the Trigger output will also turn off immediately. This is how "OFF" should work... Not the "I'll turn off when I'm good n ready!" that we have now.

indeed the «Off» is to standby like most other modern entertainment electronics.

I did not say anything about not having a way to go to standby immediately. Just that it is not an "power off" button.

You can control the streamer via the app, the unit itself, or the remote. Only one of these has a power button.

Sometimes it seems like WiiM interfaces are designed by committee... all working from home and never communicating with each other.

This contradicts the reality of today's working world: Everyone talks a lot and no one feels responsible for implementing it

They go to standby after a minute or two. My two subs stay on for half an hour. Their big green LEDs shining on the wall behind them. But then I am old enough to remember getting up to change the channel.

That’s all for you However, you need to understand that the standby option also controls the trigger, and it will turn off all of your connected equipment as well.

It was a comment for the device WiiM device. See #6.
I just stop the playing and it goes to standby after the configured 2 minutes.

Yeah, it’s really annoying. I want to control the automation standby myself whenever I want to turn off all my equipment.
Currently, the automation standby is set for 30 minutes. I found this to be the most convenient time for me.

When you turn off a WiiM I wish it would STAY off. But instead, it wakes itself up to check for updates. I assume it triggers my amp to turn on... and the thump then wakes up my sub.
What happens when the power blinks out? Does everything power up? Could it wake up and start playing Internet radio or some other endless stream?

I don't know the answers to this because my Ultra is 200 miles away at my 2nd house. What worries me is the possibility the system could wake up and stay awake till spring when I get back there.
My TV has done this.
(Come to think of it, the TV would probably wake up the Wiim)

So cut the power to your equipment when not in use.

 

[guy48065]

I do.
Updates be damned.

This is critical. The WIIM sends a signal to four sensing power amps and keeps them on so there is a continuous hum from the speakers and the wiim ultra closet gets hot in the winter.

Don't the amps turn off when the Ultra goes into standby?

I am sorry… off buttons on WiiM devices make no sense.

The off button, more than anything, is really to turn on/off the things attached via 12V trigger.

I've seen my Ultra wake up on it's own to install an update. Near the end of the process it turned on the amp. Why the hell it did that is beyond my comprehension.
Now my power switch is the power strip everything is plugged into. This system is at my summer home that's empty for weeks at a time. Can't risk it.
