Hello Weebyx,

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

 

Hi Sonyy

No, I really dont think that would make sense since the screen is so small..

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

 

Hi 2012Martin

 

Yes, the "Watch TV" that turns on your Tv and skybox, and then switches to a screen so you can control the SKY box, is exactly what i created the app for..

Did you see the video i have created on youtube ? This shows how to use the App, and how to add commands and son on to macro's and screen. In the video I show how I created the "Watch TV" for my own Samsung TV and my KISS IPTV box.. You can find the video on http://www.rungwald.dk and the "About the App"

What model of SKY box do you use? if I have the codes for it, I can create the file for that model and upload it to the server for you.

Just to let you all know... I have created a Facebook page called "Beo5/6 Thirdparty Configurator"...

This page will be used to talk about the App and also with information on future releases and so on..

Just an update :)

The App is now in its version 1.3.0, and there are actually a lot of people using the App around the world now...

 

The biggest change in version 1.3.0 is, that it now can import existing ThirdParty XML files into the App, this makes it much easier to go from the "notepad version" of creating your XML files, and to the nice and easy "App version" :)

You can follow the progres and changes on the facebook page here

I don't think a PUC generator is in my pipeline, but the next version 1.7 will be able to import PUC files (*.dec)  directly for creating products... More and more people are using my tool, and they seem happy about it... :)

So all in all, I am very pleased beeing able to help other people getting more out of their Beo5/Beo6 :)

The latest version is 1.6.1 and it also now supports IOS7...

Hello Jacob,

I just started to use the app, version 1.9.3.

How can I import the puc for the telekom media receiver 3.03 and 1.02. Or do you have already the xml for the receivers?

The import of the xml-files by e-mail (googlemail) doesn't show me the possibility "open with beo5/6...). What could be the reason?

Thanks for your help.

Greetings

Andreas
