I’m not sure I follow. I don’t mean by opening the app on the watch. Just walking at home and saying hey siri play nirvana

I think the biggest difference is that Entrypoints follows a more modular approach. A CD and Audio Entrypoint can play side by side, both creating their own web radio stream, and allowing the routing of the parallel streams to different rooms. This approach adds a bit more complexity to the setup.

Please post in the topic below. I guess @Klaus_Engel will answer.

So, I thought I’d give this a go recently having had intermittent glitches with a Pi3b and rooDial. However, I can’t seem to get it to work with the dial, however many times I reboot and/or take batteries out of the dial. If I plug it in, the dial stops working, unplugged it’s fine. The dial wouldn’t allow a new pairing with it plugged in. Am I missing something obvious about how to get it working? Thanks!
For reference, I bought this one:
Hi,
I‘m sorry but unable to help you for the next few days as I’m traveling. Will be back on Saturday if anything will go as it should.
You have to plug the antenna BEFORE booting the PI. If you look in the system log you should see at the beginning that the antenna got recognized. If you run the antenna in a self powered hub make sure that is was also powered off but on again before the Pi gets its power.
Please check the rooExtend-Box manual in my download area for troubleshooting pairing. It will only be possible limited time after rooDial got visible in Roon Settings/Extensions.
More help next Saturday if necessary.

Thanks @DrCWO - I think I tried all these steps but will go through the process more slowly again tomorrow, check the logs, and see where that gets me. Just to be clear, should I need to re-pair if the dial was previously paired with the internal Bluetooth or should it just work? Many thanks and enjoy your travels!
I guess you have to re-pair. Another option mi8ght be to start with a fresh SD-Card and the Antenna plugged at the very beginning. I never tried to switch from internal BT to the antenna…

I know you’re travelling at the moment - no urgency on this at all. For the record, unfortunately neither option has worked. Starting from scratch with a new SD card, the dial simply won’t pair with the external Bluetooth antenna. Is the internal antenna completely deactivated when an external is plugged in? I’m wondering if it’s not ‘forgetting’ the internal antenna because it’s active in some way. Reverting to the previous SD card it is still paired happily with the internal Bluetooth, despite time with batteries out and attempts to pair the external.
My next plan may be to try to pair it with the Bluetooth aerial plugged into an unrelated device, perhaps a Windows desktop.
Don‘t pair with window. You will have trouble pairing with rooExtend after that.
Would you please send me the system log to info@definiteaudio.de after you have restarted the Pi with the antenna plugged.
