So, I have been playing with the new dashboards to maybe replace the Homey Cornelisse Dash dashboard. Are you planning to add a widget for it? I guess the standard Athom speaker widget could be improved on…
What else do you want to improve, it does what it should…
Not at the moment, but you never know.
Unfortunately I have to disappoint you, NO.
Firstly, the API is only “very same” so, as far as I know Linkplay (WiiM), adjustments will certainly have to be made because they have different versions.
Secondly, I don’t have an Arylic player to test the app and I can’t do it without one.
Thirdly, the app was made for WiiM devices and not for all those to whom Linkplay also sold chipsets. Because that would be a nevrending story and I don’t have enough space in my office/lab to set up all the test devices.
But try it via Home Assistant. Because since HA v2024.08 they have an official Linkplay integration. Then you can control the player with the Homey “Home Assistant App”.
Sorry Chris
Well, the speaker widget doesn’t know the difference between a linear stream (radio) and a non-linear one like spotify. Thus, we get buttons for next/prev, shuffle and repeat in the standard widget when listening to e.g. TuneIn. It even doesn’t indicate the current playing status correctly.
Hi, Chris, thank you very much for detailed response.
I will try to do it with HA. I didn’t know that it is about control of the specific chip made by Linkplay and has versioning. I didn’t look under the hood of you app and thought that you use HTTP requests for the controls of WiiM.
I am currently controlling Arylic devices via multiple GET Logic requests to the specific IPs (screenshot), this works fine despite it is a quite big Advanced flow, with lack of flexibility.
Hopefully I will be able to tide it up with HA integrations.
Still no support for the Ultra?
doesn’t seem to find it on my network using the app.
Apologies, was not clear it meant 2025.
