WiiM Pro - 6. VOICE CONTROL; 6.1 WORKS WITH ALEXA

Version 1.6 Updated on 7/1/2023
Stream your favorite music and radio stations through Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Having multiple
WiiM Pro devices, play streaming music the whole house. Or plug in a stereo component—
like an amplified turntable, CD player, or MP3 player—and simultaneously cast music to
multiple WiiM Pro or WiiM Mini connected speakers.
You can also group with other AirPlay 2-enabled devices, Amazon Echo or Google Home,
creating a whole-home audio system with synchronized music playback in multiple rooms.
The grouping with non-WiiM or LinkPlay devices must use the corresponding Apps like the
Alexa or Google Home App.
Please note that when playing with HomePod, Amazon Echo, or Google Home devices,
WiiM Pro is the audio receiver. It can’t transmit its physical audio input (via Line-In or
Optical-In) to other non-WiiM devices such as HomePod, Sonos, Amazon Echo, or Google
Home devices via Wi-Fi.
5.4 USE 12 V TRIGGER OUT
WiiM Pro will raise the voltage on the 12v trigger rail when the music starts to play. It will
lower the trigger’s voltage two and a half minutes after stopping playback. Whether the
connected amplifier acts on this immediately or has its own timeout to be enacted is down
to the manufacturer and may vary.
The external DAC or amplifier can use 12 V trigger to determine if the music starts or stops.
Please check your device manual with trigger input for details.
6. VOICE CONTROL
With voice control, you can navigate and interact with your device to search, play, stop, or
skip music and more.
When voice control is configured, you can speak commands as you would act by touch.
