Hi, I’d like to bring to your attention that:

• 12V Trigger: Status now shown in the app; supports a one time on/off toggle from the app(requires the upcoming app update).

Does the current version of the WiiM Home application support that feature? If not, in which version will it be supported?

So still no HDMI CEC fix I may have to keep my cable disconnect.

I have 2 alarms but could use many more Presets.

What is the cec issue?

 

[hgo58]

What is the cec issue?

See the thread 'HDMI ARC hijacking inputs' https://forum.wiimhome.com/threads/hdmi-arc-hijacking-inputs.7715/

 

[AssafAviv]

The current app version doesn’t support the feature, but it will be supported in an upcoming app update.

At the very least, they could provide us with the endpoint of the REST API so that we can create automated processes using it.

The latest version 3.4.0 now supports this feature.

The latest version 3.4.0 now supports this feature.

I wonder quite what 'Once' means? Once per time it's powered up? Not got a remote paired with my ultra right now to check if the remote power button classes as 'powering up'.
Just tried pressing the app On button and yes my vibelink light (connected to the ultra) went bright.
Pressed Off, and the vibelink light dimmed.

Side issue, the vibelink hasn't actually gone to sleep for a week or two (can't recall when this behaviour changed) after the additional 30 mins passes, the light is always on dim.

If no one else responds sooner, I will try this out when I have got up.

I've just checked, but the LED on my Vibe is completely off.

 

[Mr Ee]

I've just checked, but the LED on my Vibe is completely off.

Ok, I'll try power cycling it

 

[QuarryHunslet]

I've just checked, but the LED on my Vibe is completely off.

Yes, mine also goes off, it’s a pity that the power button in the Vibelink device tab often shows that it is on when it isn’t.

Sorry I've hidden the Vibe device card. (It's terribly annoying.)

 

[QuarryHunslet]

How did you do that?

 

[Wiimer]

How did you do that?

It is simply refusing to set up Vibe when WHA is launched.

That gets very annoying when you are using the WiiM Home app on multiple phones and tablets.

I thought you had found another method of doing it.

If you disable the 'Nearby Devices' permission in the WiiM app settings, the setup screen will no longer appear.

I think I will just put up with it for now.

 

[Mr Ee]

How did you do that?

Disable bluetooth
(On your phone / tablet)

I have just tried it now,

Trigger On Once
Brings Vibelink out of either standby mode

Trigger Off Once
Puts Vibelink into normal standby mode

The Vibelink device card power button brings it out of low power standby mode, and also puts it into low power standby mode.

It will also put it into low power standby mode from normal standby mode.

 

[QuarryHunslet]

Disable bluetooth
(On your phone / tablet)

That is required for other items, so it stays on.
