Just bought a Wiim Mini to use with external DAC mainly to play hi res Amazon Prime or Amazon Music Unlimited on the main hifi.
I haven't registered for music unlimited yet - wanted to try the basic system hardware out first.
I have a four Alexa system that works fine for smarthome and music playback on the Alexas - albeit with with super lofi sound quality.
The wifi is solid - can get 80-100Mbs just about everywhere.
I have been trying for hours now to get Alexa to see the Wiim as a speaker. Both the Wiim and the alexas are on the same wifi and the same amazon account.
The Wiim and the alexas will play music from Amazon but I cannot voice control the Wiim as Alexa isn't aware of it. I can't add it to any group - it just isn't there. If I control the wiim from its app it will happily play amazon prime music.
I am getting pretty near to returning the Wiim as unsuitable for purpose. Can anyone suggest something I may have missed?
