It feels like its been forever since we reached out, so we just wanted to let you all know that we are working hard on AmpliPi!

Our website may say that AmpliPis have a lead time of 4-6 weeks right now, but our manufacturing is scaling up and are currently working on building up Main AmpliPi’s and expander units, split up in several smaller batches to make sure some AmpliPis are available sooner.

Along with making lots more new units, we are preparing to make a new software release. Here’s what’s on deck:

- Per zone min and max volume configuration, make it easy to restrict volume levels in a room or not blast the music accidentally - [Add zone min and max volumes by Lohrer · Pull Request #252 · micro-nova/AmpliPi · GitHub](https://github.com/micro-nova/AmpliPi/pull/252)
- This also comes with 0-1.0 volume support to simplify user interface integration
- Internet radio station search (thanks @kjk2010) - [Add inetradio search by linknum23 · Pull Request #302 · micro-nova/AmpliPi · GitHub](https://github.com/micro-nova/AmpliPi/pull/302)
- Fixes for internet radio timeout and logging issues - [Internet radio fail by linknum23 · Pull Request #297 · micro-nova/AmpliPi · GitHub](https://github.com/micro-nova/AmpliPi/pull/297)
- Audio control interface enhancements: Reduce the chance of audio pops improved reset handling - [Reduce popping that occurs on volume change by Lohrer · Pull Request #251 · micro-nova/AmpliPi · GitHub](https://github.com/micro-nova/AmpliPi/pull/251)
- Security improvements: Use a generated password by default for the pi user (the generated password will be shown on the display for easy access, customized passwords won’t be shown on the display) - [Set random default password for pi user by Lohrer · Pull Request #289 · micro-nova/AmpliPi · GitHub](https://github.com/micro-nova/AmpliPi/pull/289)

What’s coming soon (but not in the next release)

- Prototype interface using the sonoff in-wall wireless touch displays (can’t wait to show this off once it is further along) - [Add AmpliPi interface to Sonoff Touch Panel · Issue #298 · micro-nova/AmpliPi · GitHub](https://github.com/micro-nova/AmpliPi/issues/298)
- Event driven updates to the ui (won’t poll every 2 seconds) - [Server Sent Events by linknum23 · Pull Request #254 · micro-nova/AmpliPi · GitHub](https://github.com/micro-nova/AmpliPi/pull/254)
- Bluetooth support - [Feature Request - Add Bluetooth support · Issue #150 · micro-nova/AmpliPi · GitHub](https://github.com/micro-nova/AmpliPi/issues/150)

I hope this helps keep everyone up to speed!

PS - Check out the progress thats been made on Home Assistant integration by @brianhealey

This sounds great - I like the sound of the improved volume config/control - will make my NodeRED integration much easer, and of course hoping the internet radio timeout fixes my lock up issues.

Can’t wait to try it out!

Any updates on the progress of the release?

I waited a whole month before asking! 😀

It is looking like it will be another couple of weeks. We want to have a good solution to the internet radio issues and some other things before making a release. Sorry about the delay.

Thank you for the updated volume controls! My maths were way off, and the HA integration was awkward.
