WiiM Mini with Echo 4th Gen to create WiiM Group with Pro Plus

[QuarryHunslet]

Well the WiiM Mini arrived today. Have to say though that I'm more than a little disappointed that the USB Power Adaptor is no longer included. Box says inclusion varies by region. So not only do we pay a premium for WiiM products here in Australia, now they are removing previously included accessories for us as well.

We don’t get the power adaptor included in the UK either.

Must be a cost saving measure. Luckily I found one that suits the requirements.

A lot of phones don't come with chargers now either

WiiM's listing details on Amazon Australia where I purchased. More false advertising it seems:

Contact the seller through Amazon.

This looks totally unambiguous to me.

Why would a device capable of putting out two times 10 W in total ask for a T 0.5 A fuse, irrespective of the mains voltage?

50 W at 100 V, 120 W at 240 V?

No, I don't think I follow your recommendation.

Inrush current?

Inrush current?

Irrespective of the mains voltage? Doesn't sound right to me.

I can't even see a voltage selector switch. There must be one.

Didn't want to overstress this topic or capture the thread. It's probably just a generic picture of the back and the actual devices might have one voltage clearly marked and even different fuse markings.

I found this funny nonetheless.

First thing I did. Seller is Linkplay/WiiM. As expected, no response.

Time for a follow-up by now, I think. All through the Amazon Marketplace, of course.

Yes, that's what I've been using. It's not a huge issue as I was able to get an adaptor, but it's a bit disappointing as I said. At least I didn't pay full price thanks to the Prime sales, but I do wish @WiiM Team paid more attention to their listing details.

assuming you have enabled Alexa in the Wiim Home app for your each of your WiiMs.

I probably won't need to use Alexa through the Mini, but I do have it setup in the Pro Plus. Curiously I couldn't see how to do this for the Mini in the WHA as it only shows the Alexa details for the Pro Plus.
