rooNuimo – best Roon controller ever

I’m unable to get the Numio Hub to mount a USB stick to save the license code.

Can someone who used MacOS Disk Utility to format a USB stick for this purpose please confirm the exact format (MS DOS FAT or exFAT), the partitioning scheme and the min/max size allowed?

I tried both a 256MB and a 32GB stick with a number of combinations of format and partitioning scheme, but nothing seems to work. I did see “Remove USB drive” (or something similar a few times, but it immediately flashes to “insert USB” then “unable to mount” etc.

Msdos partition scheme and FAT32 did the trick here.

Thank you. I finally got it to this point, but I can’t see the .json file when I look at this USB stick on my Mac. The drive is empty.

I’ve not looked on the drive truth be told but have used it to restore a license from one pi to another. The extension thinks it has done it’s job. Could it be a file permission issue on the Mac?

Hi everybody,
today I got a warning from SENIC that they soon will run out of stock.

I expect the will start with a new series of Nuimo devices to make all Roon users happy in the future but this is not yet safe!

Until now you can continue ordering. If they finally will run out of Nuimo devices I will post it here and the orders, that cannot be fulfilled anymore will be refunded by me.

Got everything up and running today. Very easy to follow instructions. It’s difficult keeping the fingers off the dial:)

Do any of you use the magnetic buttom of the Numio or just use it without? Worried that the usb port getting clogged with dirt.

I haven’t got any Pi expireince but I chose the Flirc case and I’m wondering about placing it out of site and using a usb extension cord for my LogiLink bluetooth adapter. Can I velcro the flirc case to a wall inside a closet or is that a fire hazzard? Is there any way to get temp readings from the pi?

That pretty much says it all.
I use a Flirc case and a Tp-link BT receiver, but moved it out of the way, but closer to the remote. I imagine that the usb extension Idea will work well

I’ve had full size Pis velcroed onto and into all manner of spaces. I’ve been involved in two house fires, but never due to an overheating RPi…

TreeZorro · February 4, 2022, 9:28pm

Thanks. Will experiment some more, use common sense (why not use if it’s common) and maybe change the batteries in my fire alarm…

Does this mean that I should give up hope on the possibility of getting a black one? I should be in your queue.

killdozer · February 4, 2022, 10:33pm

Funnily enough it’s rekindled mine…

cereal_killer · February 9, 2022, 4:57pm

OK so all setup:
SD card flashed and inserted.
Pi4 has slow flashing green LED.
Pi4 Ethernet connected to network.
Nuimo Licence installed via roon Extension.

Can’t get it to work?

Can you see the 2 extensions, the rooExtend license manager and the rooNumio controller? I think that I stumbled on needing to change the “Controller selection” dropdown that’s above the license entering area. It needs to be rooNumio, mine defaulted to rooDial.

cereal_killer · February 9, 2022, 5:07pm

Yes I have it working, just removed it and installed it again…

But i have an issue with the db/volume levels? i only get to use it at -20db and above so is way to loud and too short a control? anything in setting?

Michael_Harris · February 9, 2022, 5:11pm

You can set the sensitivity limit of setup in the advanced settings.
I have mine set to low sensitivity, as it was changing the volume to quickly

cereal_killer · February 9, 2022, 5:16pm

Its not the sensitive, I can’t turn the volume down below -20db! so its very loud and can only turn it up louder!!

Michael_Harris · February 9, 2022, 5:19pm

That suggests to me that you have volume limits set on your device.

All my devices work fully between 0 and 100 besides that some of them I have set volume limits on and it should work within the volume limits you have set up. So my paired Sonos 3’s in my study are set to between 8 and 48 as I hear nothing below 7 and its too loud above 48

cereal_killer · February 9, 2022, 5:23pm

This is how i have it setup - which are default roon setting for the D&D 8c’s?

AceRimmer · February 9, 2022, 5:34pm

But you do realize that common sense is the least common of all senses nowadays

Michael_Harris · February 9, 2022, 5:39pm

That’s strange one, though I do not know how this works with negative volume levels.

I only have them set as positives on mine.
I can see if I can test my Matrix Audio as that works in a similar way to the D&D’s but I have never had volume limits set until now
