You can group your WiiM devices with Echo or other Alexa built-in devices to set up Alexa Multi-Room Audio. This feature enables you to play the same audio simultaneously across all devices using simple Alexa voice commands. This tutorial will guide you through the process of setting up your Alexa Multi-Room Audio system.
Alexa groups support only network audio input and cannot transmit audio from other inputs (e.g., Line In, Optical In, HDMI ARC, or Bluetooth) to devices in the group over Wi-Fi. In contrast, WiiM groups created in the WiiM Home app support all these audio inputs.
