Quick/auto switch line out to Bluetooth

[kf27]

I wonder of there is a quick and easy way to switch my Pro Plus between line out (to speakers) and Bluetooth when I want to use headphones. Currently I have to use a clumsy and awkward six-click process in the WiiM Home app, device->settings->audio output->bluetooth->pair-.(i) even for previously-paired headphones. Actually it's worse than that as the device settings cog is so small in the app it often takes me four or more attempts to correctly select it and enter the settings page!

By contrast my Denon AVR 760H automatically switches to Bluetooth when I power on a previously paired set of headphones, which would be ideal behaviour.
And I can switch inputs easily enough using the button on the remote - just not outputs.

Is there an easier way of doing this?

You can switch output directly from the Now Playing page in the WiiM Home App.

Once paired, your headphones should remain paired.

My headphones changes to Bluetooth out, on the Ultra, as soon as I turn them on. There are however some issues with the sound not playing if you reconnect while playing on another output.

Do also see the thread 'BT Headphones switching but no music' https://forum.wiimhome.com/threads/bt-headphones-switching-but-no-music.8459/

Input can also be changed on the Browse page.

You can also create presets for fast switching between line out and BT which would be availabe through a simple button press on the remote then.

But it will not help if you always have to pair your headphones again.

Ah, I thought there must be something I was missing. This works, thank you.

No, I always have to re-pair them. I wonder what is different?

The output menu say "Pair" but for me it is just a reconnect, not a re-pair. The headphones are already known.
