rooExtend – The easy start with Roon Extensions

rooExtend v2.2.1 is out now :+1:

I found out that there was some room for fixes in v2.2.0. This is what I did:

  • I fixed an issue regarding BT USB sticks. A user found out, that they were no more used in the v2.2.0 even if they were plugged in. Now they are active again and will improve the range.

  • Also the long-range Bluetooth 5.0 USB Stick from ZEXMTE is now supported (see
    https://www.amazon.com/-/en/dp/B08LVH5BCP). One of the users reports a usable distance up to 20m between the antenna and the Nuimo :slight_smile:

  • There are some improvements in the volume control of rooNuimo and roo6D that now support all device control Roon Extensions offered in the Application Manager.

  • Standby was renamed to Standby/Resume. This means this is a toggle now that can wake up devices that are in standby (if supported by the device).

  • rooUPnP now works on the old Raspberry Pi Mod B

  • Some improvements of rooWatch regarding Siri playback of genres. Now you can say β€œHey Siri, play some Jazz music”. @Klaus_Engel will suppyl more details regarding this in the rooWatch thread soon.

  • Added a chapter for License Revoking in the Quick Installation Guide.
