Liking it so far – iHome AVS Review

I just got my iHome AVS and I’m digging it. I’m about to be getting a bunch of smart home stuff to control my room with (I’ll update when I’ve used those and say if they are good). The colors are nice and the dimming of the screen and colors is nice, I just wish that the color strip on the bottom and the screen dimmed together by the same button on the top of the device. I’ve run into two annoying bugs so far and they are really effecting how I like to use the clock. 1) none of my music plays through the local function in the iHome app. I have to use bluetooth to use my phones music. When I go to play a song through the built in app, it just keeps skipping through the songs not playing a single one of them, then it says it can’t play my song. I know that’s not huge but it’s annoying having to connect to Bluetooth every time I want to play music. 2) and this one is really throwing me for a loop. Alexa’s voice and the sound for the alarm clock have to be set under the same volume. I’m a heavy sleeper so I need the alarm clock set 20+ but I, in no way need Alexa yelling through my whole house at those volumes. I need Alexa and the alarms to be able to have separate volume controls. So when I ask Alexa a question I don’t have to stand away from her as to not blow my ear drums out. I also don’t want to have to continually change the volume up before I go to bed and then down after I wake up. GIVE US SEPARATE VOLUME CONTROLS!
