Worst experience I’ve ever had with electronic devices!!

[raulfanani]

I bought 1 Wiim Mini, 2 Pro, and 1 Amp, and set them all up on the same network, but in separate rooms.

And then the problems started: after grouping all of them together, FOR NO REASON AND OUT OF NOWHERE, they disconnect and only the main one keeps playing!

I bought these devices for multi-room audio, but the alarm system is TRASH! It simply doesn’t work!

How hard is it to create an option to start and stop playing at a specific time?

Now I set up the alarm, and when I arrive the next day it’s either not playing at all, or only the main device is playing because the group disconnected.

What a disappointment this poorly made investment turned out to be!!!

If I could give one piece of advice to anyone looking to use Wiim for multi-room audio with more than one device: DO NOT BUY IT! This is horrible!

Sorry, it was a question for raulfanani. I saw he had some connection problems in januari.

Ok. Please "Reply" to the relevant comment then.

Are You still loosing network connection to some of the units?

Yes, earlier today the Mini, which serves as the main device, was disconnected. I tried fixing it through the app by clicking the wrench icon, but that didn’t solve the issue. I had to go to the device, power it off and on again, and only then did it start working.

Try to give the Wiim units fixed ip-adresses from the Unifi controller.

I’ve already done that, but the problem persists.

Is there a reason you have chosen the Mini as the main device ?
Have you tried making one of the Pros or the Ampas the main device ?

 

[raulfanani]

Initially, I had tried using the Mini as the main device.


I thought that might be causing issues, so I switched to the Amp as the main one, but the problem persisted.


Then I went back to using the Mini because it’s easier to restart — it’s more accessible.


(Yeah, I have to keep restarting it…)

Do You use any server, Lyrion, Plex, etc. Ím using Lyrion and had problems like Yours. If I had anything in the Wiim player in Lyrion Server, even if it was paused, the Wiim switcht over to Lyrion Server when there was a quiet passage it what input I was using. I think I was using Sqeezelite from Lyrion to Wiim.
