I’m interested in using the Roam 2 as bluetooth music output for my Google Home mini. Ideally this would make my music alarm automations play from the Roam 2 every morning. My worry is that the Roam 2 will automatically shut off when it’s not being used. I don’t want to have to turn the speaker on manually every time. Does it have a sleep mode from which it automatically powers back on after detecting input? Can I just leave it plugged it while at home and expect it to work? I also would like to know if using Spotify Connect over wifi will run into the same automatic shut off issue as before? My hope is that the Roam 2 can work like an extension of my smart devices at home and a regular Bluetooth speaker on the go. (Google Assistant integration would probably solve this problem, but I’m looking for a work around 😂) Thank you for your review and help!

Would you recommend it over the JBL charge 5?
Do you have other sonos speakers ?
