Hi Weebyx,

I have another question; which steps do I have to do in order to import RC sequences to the App and make it usable? Assuming:

1. Learn the RC commands via ipaq

2. Save it as a file and Convert it via xml Converter

3. Send this converted File to ipad (via Mail)

4. Import it to the app and use it for the configuration.

Right?

These are the steps you need to follow.

1. Learn each command via ipaq and save the Pronto code for each command somewhere.

2. Create a TPF file on your computer with pronto codes. Take a look under examples->the TPF file->TPF File with Pronto, there is also a complete example

3. Send the newly created TPF file to the iPad via mail

4.Open the mail with the TPF file and tap on the TPF file, and select "Open in Beo5/6....."

5.Import the product

6.Configure the remote

Hi Weebyx,

I installed Your app yesterday. Took a first look and I think its really good. I'm waiting for my ipaq for learning the 3rd party codes.

I have three questions;

1. I can't find how to program the Volume Wheel and the right button on the Border of the screen.

2. How Do I get the BMP Files for TV and Radio Stations to the app?

3. Would be good to import XML files for PUC (3rd party  Controlling for B&O devices). Depending on what the purpose is, It might be good to get the Standard Configuration for known B&O devices into the app. This would make the app simpler to use.

1. The volume wheel is a "bit tricky".

To program the "Volume Down/Mute" wheel action, you need to tap or drag command between the "rewind" button and "left arrow".

To program the "Volume Up" wheel action, you need to tap or drag command between the "ffwd" button and "right arrow".

You can take a look at my video to see how it works..

2. The App does not support images as of now

3. I'm not sure it is a good idea to import PUC files. The App is not ment to be a substitute for the B&O tool, and I don't want to support a full configuration.  The B&O devices(PUC) things is configured using the standard tool. If you can give me a great example of why you need this, I will take into consideration :)

-Ok. Will try to do this.

- That would be great, if it could do this in the future. I think it's very nice and usable.

- That's what I meant by saying "upon the purpose". If the tool will be used for (almost) only for 3rd party devices, so it's ok, but in a mixed environment (especially with a B&O TV) the things are getting more complicated. When I put the TV Code for the Samsung TV, I was impressed how easy it is to put the Buttons to the remote. But it is getting complicated to put a B&O device to the Config; You have to create a new button, rename it and then assign several macros to the button. But perhaps I'm on the wrong way to do this.

- another idea could be to preconfigure it on B&O tool and import the configuration to the app and then make some "finetuning" there and export it back to the Config tool.(Might be hard to program this, I think..) 🙂

Yes, well the App is designed with ThirdParty control in mind.. So configuring of B&O products should be done in the B&O config tool afterwards.

But... if you are talking about people having a B&O television that doesnt support PUC/or has the PUC codes, then yes... This App could be a bit better yes...

Is this what you are talking about ? A B&O tv and thirdparty products ?

Hi Weebyx,

I've sent a message to You, hope it's ok so.

I am going to have a play later. I currently use my Beo5 with LG TV, Bose Cinemate, Beosound 8, Beolit 12, Lutron Lights (some non B&O compatible), I used to control various other lamps using non B&O kit which worked well.

Hello Weebyx,

can you make a Version of the Beo5 Configurator for the Iphone (5) ?

Hi weebx. I have downloaded your app what a brilliant idea. I would like tone able to press say watch sky and that will turn on Panasonic tv and sky box. I understand this is exactly what sort of thing you designed the app for.  I would also like just a sky button underneath the watch sky button (preferably the sky logo) which will give controll of just sky box.

i would also like to be able to press watch DVD and it will change tv source turn on beocentre2  and turn the a aux on the beosound 9000 and also dim my lutron lights and unidims.

i have had a play around with it and I can add zones and then create and edit macros with the b and o stuff just struggling with the Panasonic and sky. I have added the Panasonic that's already there however it still isn't coming up in  the edit macros. I hope that makes sense.

also how can I add sky tv to that list? I hear people mention an Ipaq. What is this? Does it grab say i r codes? Can beo5 controll rf? I have rf lights also in my house made by light wave rf if I could controll them somehow that would be super. 

Thank you in advance david
