Rayo Premium App support

[Huffington McMonkey]

Hi All,

I currently have a premium(ad free) account with Rayo (from Bauer Media) which enables multiple ad-free, radio channels. These can be found via TuneIn, though then I'm not able to use my Rayo account resulting in multiple ad's.

The Rayo app will let me cast to the WiiM Pro from other devices so I can listen ad free but the reason for wanting Rayo integration, is that I want to use the alarm to wake up to ad free channels.

I can't find a way to set my iPhone(or other devices) to alarm with Rayo, set the channel and cast it to the WiiM(I've tried both Alexa and Google Home).

If the Rayo app was integrated I could simply set a Preset for the desired Rayo channel for the alarm and job done.

The WiiM Pro is a replacement for a Sonos Port which had the Rayo integration but absolutely hopeless connectivity, meaning it was 50:50 whether it would connect to the stream or wake me up with the irritating Sonos chime.

The WiiM Pro is definitely staying as it is simply better than the Sonos Port. If the Rayo app could be integrated it would be the perfect product for my needs.

Many Thanks,

Dave

If you have a WiiM Remote connected to Pro, you can ask Alexa to set up an alarm e.g. “Alexa, set an alarm for 7am to Greatest Hits Radio”. I guess you have the Rayo skill linked to your premium account.

I’ve tried setting this up via another echo asking a request of the form “Alexa, set an alarm on <device name> for 1330 to Greatest Hits Radio” with no success - it gets confused with the device name and setting a music alarm at the same time. The voice remote works fine though.
