Hi,

I had a similar issue with a BeoSound2 (2016) and a Beo4. I needed remote volume control on that device. I decided to add a BeoLink Active (with IR-eye) to my setup and connect the PowerLink out to the (auto sense) Line In of the BeoSound2 (2016).
Now I can control the BeoSound2 (2016) with my Beo4 and in addition to that I gained MasterLink integration of my NetLink device ;-)
This solution only makes sense, if a MasterLink network is present.´

Best regards

.....and how do you deal with the double volume controls?

With my office A9, I simply have an old iPad Mini on a dock which I use solely for controlling/streaming content to the speaker! This could be radio via the BBC iPlayer Radio app, music, podcast or similar. 

I've found that this is the easiest and quickest way to do everything from a single device. Of course, I can move it around, too, pretty easily.

Hi,

the MasterLink volume via Beo4 (and/or in my case BeoLink2 app) and the NetLink volume via app or both volumes directly on the device...

If the BeoSound2 (2016) is turned on, it starts at a specific volume level (which can be modified via app), this is my reference volume level for MasterLink, which can be adjusted with the Beo4.

If you're using the BeoLink 2 app, then you must have a BLGW. Provided that your BeoLink Active updated to pass along LIGHT/CONTROL commands, you can program macros to control the NL device in anyway you want.

Sounds a bit like my setup where I use a BLC NL/ML with an extra IR-eye to get support from BeoTime to NL via a BLGW.

Found this old post but I wonder if the mammutbox would sort out these problem to have IR control of these products via it´s network commands.  It also have bluetooth connection but not shore if they have added the function so that the mammutbox works as remote, thay have the other direction to work as receiver for the Essence control.
