The Masterlink protocol requires a device that wishes to provide an action (trigger from a button pressed etc) must be started by that device.

It uses what is called "Lock Management Protocol". Below is a typical communication sequence in the lock management protocol. Only one user is shown, User1 who operates Device1. Say that Device1 is a CD player, and that User1 wants to change track. The event key wanted is sent to Device1, which is not the lock manager. Therefore, Device1 requests the key on the network by broadcasting a REQUEST KEY telegram (telegram is B&O's preferred synonym for message). Device3 is the lock manager and is ready to give away the key. When Device3 sends the KEY TRANSFER telegram to Device1, the key gets reserved. Device1 is granted the key upon reception of the KEY TRANSFER telegram, and sends a NEW LOCK MANAGER to Device3 as an acknowledgement of a successful transfer. Finally, User1 gets the event key ready, and the change of track on the CD can take place.

You would be able to do this with a ML gateway and switch it on with your phone or tablet.
