Presets 5-8 now available also on an original Remote

[DariuszP]

Presets 5-8 were available via Remote 2 for quite a while via double-tapping 1-4 buttons. It seems that today WiiM silently introduced this great feature to the original remote! Great news and many thanks to Wiim Team! EDIT: it requires remote version 54.

I powered my amp up to get version 54. Still waiting after half an hour.
Just checked again and it's arrived

It seems to me that WiiM somehow likes me: (i) I brought my brand new Amp Ultra to Spain beg-July and this new feature was the first thing that I had spotted, (ii) I have just returned from Spain and this new feature welcomed me on my Ultra streamer. Lucky me!

Wiim mini: remote control 1 with firmware 54. 8 presets work.
I have the latest Wiim mini firmware and the latest app. Other presets are available with a quick double press. Great!

You mean that 8 presets are available on Remote 1 (the black plastic version) too?

Yes, if the firmware version is 54

The firmware will update automatically when paired to a WiiM device. This might take a little time and there's no way to rush it. But it will happen.

 

[Ametys]

Yes, that's right.

For the moment my Remote 1 stopped working so I can't test. I don't know if the Remote 1 is known to be fragile.

Have you tried the obvious fix of replacing the batteries, and re- pairing it in the WiiM Home App?

I would say that it’s no more fragile than any other remote control.

The controller is standard, no problem, I have two. The problem may be the Bluetooth pairing. I had no problem with the Wii, but I once had a big problem pairing the Sony remote with the PlayStation. I managed to do it, but only after many attempts. I have no idea where the problem was, but then it worked perfectly.
