Does the Defunc Home Speaker work with Alexa?

Can I use it without Wi-Fi?

Yes. Bluetooth and AUX work without a network, but Alexa voice features need Wi-Fi.

Does it support AirPlay or Chromecast?

No. It has no AirPlay, AirPlay 2 or Chromecast for Audio, so Apple and Google casting are out.

No. Multiroom is not supported, so each speaker plays on its own.

Our take on the Defunc Home Speaker

The Defunc Home Speaker is a portable smart speaker with Amazon Alexa built in, 40 W of amplification, and Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and AUX inputs. It covers the basics of a voice-controlled home speaker and can be carried between rooms. It lacks AirPlay, Spotify Connect, Chromecast and multiroom, so it suits one-room listening rather than a whole-home setup. Buyers rate it well overall, though the sample of ratings is small.
