Overview

You can use Alexa to control your WiiM device in two ways:

  • WiiM Voice Remote: Use the Voice Control button for push-to-talk Alexa.
  • Echo or Alexa built-in device: Use hands-free Alexa voice commands to control your WiiM device.

Before You Begin

Before using either option below, sign in to Amazon Alexa in the WiiM Home app.

  1. Open the WiiM Home app.
  2. Go to the Browse tab and tap Amazon Alexa.
  3. Follow the on-screen instructions to sign in with your Amazon account.

Option 1: Use the WiiM Voice Remote

Set up the WiiM Voice Remote with your WiiM device to enjoy push-to-talk Alexa. Then, use the Voice Control button on the remote to give Alexa voice commands.

For setup instructions, see How to Set Up Your WiiM Voice Remote.

Option 2: Use an Echo or Alexa Built-in Device

Note: Make sure to sign in to both the WiiM Home app and the Alexa app with the same Amazon account.
  1. Open the Amazon Alexa app and go to the Devices tab.
  2. Select your WiiM device and open its settings.
  3. Give your WiiM device a name that is easy to say, such as Kitchen.
  4. Use your Echo or Alexa built-in device to control your WiiM device. Include the WiiM device name in your command.

    For example, if you named it Kitchen, say: “Alexa, play music on Kitchen.”

    Tip: Set your WiiM device as the Alexa preferred speaker to play music without saying the device name. For setup instructions, see Set Your WiiM Device as the Alexa Preferred Speaker.
