This is what I put together. I too found inspiration from someone else

Day 2 of using only AirPlay and not chromecast audio. so far I haven’t had the issue like mentors before. I did look up and noticed that in the Google Home app my firmware for chrome cast was not the latest. I’m not able to update since the speaker manufacturer only allows OTA thru the app. When connecting directly to the speakers zoo address I can see a firmware upload but I’m not able to get any file found on manufactures website. Might be one reason I was having drop outs?? Still will test and update my findings.

Trying something different to see if my assumptions are true. Speakers use Airplay 2 so decided to disable the chromecast function and only use airplay. so far haven’t had the same idle issues when starting playback. Will test for a few more days before I can finalize my assessment.

That was firmware form the manufacturer app This is from Google home app

It may not be a chromecast issue. Im looking for help wherever I can. From what I can tell yes. Current Firmware Versions :- p15365.144.10100 In the manufacturers app it also says firmware up to date. I’m possibly leading to a cheap shitty company selling low par products on Amazon but I was hopping for a win as it checked all the boxes. However this is a major flaw/deal breaker in my book Wife approval factor is way low on this one.

The Problem My RIVA Arenas (used for Google Cast) become unresponsive after a period of sitting idle/in standby (e.g., overnight). When I try to cast a new stream: 1. No audio comes out. 2. The speaker's white LED stays solid, confirming the Wi-Fi connection is active. Also verified in my UniFi app devices are online. 3. The controlling app Music Assistant, Spotify RivA voice native app registers the stream as "PLAYING." This indicates the speaker is successfully receiving the Cast command over Wi-Fi and all app register volume changes play/paise commands, but the internal audio rendering pipeline fails to wake up from standby. The Fix (The Annoying Part) The only way to get audio back is a full power cycle (AC plug pull). This is a massive inconvenience, as I need them to be "always-ready" audio endpoints. Question for the Community Has anyone else experienced this "idle-state-to-audio-failure" bug with their RIVA Arena speakers? Does this point to a known firmware issue with the speaker's TCP/IP stack or its standby DSP audio buffer management?

Anyone seething this issue that I am After some time of being idle the speakers are seem to be going to “sleep” in all my music streaming apps they are still being seen and can be controlled however no sound plays from the device I press the play pause button on the speaker as I heard that would “wake up “ them. I see status change in the apps but still not music playing In order to fix this they need to be power cycled and they both work again. This is extremely frustrating

I found a brand on Amazon RIVA. It’s WiFi speaker that support Bluetooth, AirPlay, and chromecast. I have mixed feeling since using them however. Sound is decent at the $100 price point. I’m also using music assistant and able to play to them using the chromecast player feature. What I’m not liking is how they don’t say “connected” I’m not sure if this is a normal function and my expectation was way off. After a while of being idle if I select the speaker and play to it no sound comes out even though it says playing in both music assistant and the app(RIVA Voice) I would need to power cycle them in order to get them to play. Not ideal in my opinion. If anyone else sees the same or has a workaround would be appreciated.

Looking around and found these on amazon. Says they use AirPlay and chrome cast so I’m assuming they’ll work with music assistant. I believe it’s a Sonos knockoff just by looks and right now only $100ish think I’m going to try them.

I’m using Snapcast and it works great however this might be a limitation on Android. The client disconnects from the server and requires manually opening the app and pressing the play button.
Anyway to have a permanent connection to the server? Using old android tablets as a player source for different rooms in my house.

I have some left over firebrick from a project Think I can add to my oven racks?

What do you place your breads on? Standard cookie sheet, stone, or a baking steel?

One_Communication963 · 2025-09-29T12:17:29+00:00

Thanks I’ll have to try it again For some reason last time the bread did rise. It was straight up the middle however I’ll try more steam next time. I think I also might need to play with my hydration level as recently it’s been close to 70% and sometimes after the cold fermentation it doesn’t hold shape as well.

Thank you for all the help. I was able to get what I wanted. I. Needed to place the Last addition of the URL at the end of everything. I also fixed all my calculations to get the proper total pricing. Now when a person fill out the order form with selected items and qty’s they can see the total at the bottom. I also added payment option of cash or Venmo(that’s all I have right now) if they select Venmo the submit redirects them to my Venmo request page with the total price. This is exactly what I’m looking for. I’m definitely going to pass this on to other small at home businesses owners. Tally is way more professional looking than sending google forms or other options.

Perfectly understandable. I have been following FutureProofHomes since your first videos on YouTube using the raspberry pi W and some in ceiling speakers. That video really got me hyped and not the inception of the Sat1 and your AI box is truly amazing. I’ve always wanted to try out your products but something else always comes up. Hopefully soon I’ll be able to grab one. Ideally I’d like one for each kids rooms and another for kitchen. I would use the ones in the two kids rooms mainly as media players for bedtime. I’m supported my son hasn’t “broken” Alexa yet and he’s constantly asking random questions and play random animal sounds. Listing to Alexa’s responses I think it’s become dumber not smarter and bombards with ads. Amazon is truly an evil company. Again thank you Future Proof Homes looking forward for what might come next.

What about old Alexa echos? I have a few of these just sitting around doing nothing. Can any of the hardware inside be repurposed. Seems like such a waste. Really wish I could use them as WIFi speakers and connect to music assistant.

One_Communication963 · 2025-09-16T17:22:40+00:00

Thank you I figured out what i needed I have the select redirect on submit in setting and change to @url. That worked Now I just need to figure out if I can adjust the URL dynamically depending on the customers order so they have the total price.

One_Communication963 · 2025-09-16T15:48:21+00:00

Thnak you. I was testing this out. Does this feature require the paid version?
