Unfortunately lost my phone

[wiimamp user]

Hello Everyone,

I,m sad because a couple of days ago i did lost my phone while doing groceries.
Did ask everywhere but still didn,t find it. Sadly lost al the money i did have to pay for the phone and all the functionalities i did use it for.
Very sad about it.. i think i lost it while i had to pay my groceries..unfortunattely nobody found it or delivered it somewhere where i could pick it up again.
Can i still play music on the WIIM amp now? I have no tablet but a pc and a laptop. Mostly i use my pc..
Also i have i mediaplayer connected to my tv. I did install the app but i have no clue how to select music with it.
Thanks in advance for you,re help.

You should be able to use the beta PC desktop Wiim Home app to play any media you have on the PC or media server on your network, as well as being able to cast from Qobuz and Spotify I think. Not sure about Tidal and unfortunately Amazon Music doesn’t support casting from a PC, but at least there you might have Alexa to fall back on.

Was the "Find my device" function on your phone switched off?

Tidal for Windows can cast to the WiiM, too. But you probably don't have Qobuz and Tidal ...

Hope you get your phone back or at least a proper replacement soon. Good luck!

Yes..i did locate the phone a day later but is wasn,t there anymore. I did search in that area but could not find it.I was so sad to loose it. I left it in the supermarket i think when i wanted to pay for my groceries. I think someone took it..
I have no option to buy a new one now.Unfortunately..

LMS works on a PC, don't need a phone or tablet.

The absolute dependency of Wiim devices on apps is a concern for me for this reason. Especially for the amps, as you cannot modify channel/subwoofer/EQ settings without the app. Not even a way to switch source on the device (of course the remote has a button for this).

We need a Wiim device-based webpage (locally hosted) that provides access to core settings. Similar to (but simpler than) the webpage that is served by an instance of LMS.

Yup for phone / app obselence, IP control is MUST

That would be great for sure. It's obviously not a top priority for WiiM right now.

But should they ever consider this route I'd ask for full functionality through a web interface, not just core settings.

yup I'd want full control

Compare the wiim home app, to LMS. The former is waste of time, the latter is not

Is your new phone on the same WiFi network as the amp?

It's probably a wifi issue.
Are you on 2.4 or 5 GHz? Is your WiiM on wifi or wired to your router?

Thanks for your reply. Its a wired connection.
Qobuz or Tidal no issues.
Music playing on the amp.
But with my new phone the WHA cant find the amp.?

On your router, make sure that 1) wireless client isolation is 'off' and 2) ensure that bridging mode is 'enabled' on your wifi router. All brands are slightly different, but these are common fixes.

If you have a google nest mesh like I do, you're out of luck (no workable bridging mode).
