Smart Home Integration

[Marslo]

Are there any plans to integrate Wiim with Smart home applications so that one can have the smart home app play music on the Wiim player? i.e. SmartThings, HomeKit, Alexa etc. What I’m suggesting is the ability to control Wiim via a smart home app. (Play Music in Room)
