    It's white, has what appears to be an orange switch looking thingy on it... hopefully it contains a speaker too

    Was there something specifically you wanted to know about this specific device or IP-Radio in general??

    I bought a Xiaomi IP camera and regretted it.

    The trick was with the app to control it, that requires you to register with them an account on your smart phone. They are stiff about real name and personal details. I could not sign up using anonymous webmail like gmx or mail.com so I ended up never using that camera because I did not want some Chinese spying with the camera AND knowing my personal details.
    Even if there would be less risk with a radio, I have a strong gut feeling that Xiaomi still wants you to have an account and allow them access to everything on your phone to enable the app and possibly access to your LAN.
    Without the app the camera was useless, so I ASSUME it may be similar here.
