Hi CB

Those events are from the product.

oh I see. Well I have no explanation for that, I agree they should be cleared. Not sure if they are actually cleared by a factory reset

I've made the suggestion a few times that it would be useful to have a "restart" function in the configuration screen for products to do a power cycle. The essence remote pairing is still unstable and often requires a power cycle. This is sometimes inconvenient to manually do this. The BeoSound 1 poses the additional issue that since it has a battery that just unplugging the cord does not provide a power cycle. it is difficult to see which button on the bottom of the BeoSound 1 is the "restart" button. It would be nice to be able to do this from the app.

I think that's a great idea and would be helpful for various issues.

According to mine with the BS2 I gave some additional informations to Beocare today:

Here some news, relating to the Chromecast issue, that might be helpful:

My router had an update tonight, interrupting internet connection for a short time and reconnecting (I got a push mail from the log files)
The evening before I have been playing music via Chromecast, no line-in used, and for that I didn't power off the BS2.
But this morning the BS2 also was not able to connect with Chromecast!
Chromecast didn't show in the app and connecting via Google Home didn't help: no sound played from BS2. Just the same issue like having used line-in before, though it was not activated.
Power off and reconnecting - Chromecast works.
I was able to reproduce this issue by powering off and reconnecting my router: Chromecast doesn't work for the BS2.
This doesn't affect my Beoplay A6!
Chromecast always works flawlessly with the A6.
So I can only assume this issue being a firmware bug of the BS2 software.
And no way for me to solve it without a firmware update coming from B&O.

Please note:
Because it is so uncomfortable for me powering off and reconnecting my BS2 regularly, the socket is under a bookshelf, I tried to use a Smart Home socket.
But I gave it up because the sound of the BS2 got really worse, muddy and terrible. 
So sadly that's no solution.

Regards,

Ulrike

Oh boy, I thought they’d solved the remote problems. I just today thought about trying one.

I still find the connection is sometimes lost with both my BeoSound 1 and my A6 until I do a restart.

How are your recent experiences with the Bang & Olufsen app?
