I feel like I'm being ungrateful in adding to my wish list. Yet.....:

1. We need to be able in the B&O app to change the order in which the devices appear on the Halo list. E.g., it makes more sense for the BeoSystem 4 to appear first on my living room Halo, but it makes more sense for my BeoVision 10 to appear first on my bedroom Halo.

2. For at least the BLC NL/ML and the BeoSystem 4, ALL sources are visible on the Halo -- even if we have those sources marked as hidden. We should be able to hide the sources we don't use. Also we should be able to change the order the sources appear on the Halo list.

This function requires a BLI, correct? And is it just audio sources, or for instance could it start music from a Core via a converter to speakers connected to a BV10?

Nope. This does not require a BLI. The BLC NL/ML converters are now recognized as devices the Halo can control and add to its list of devices.

My sources from my BeoSound Moment that are integrated with the BeoVision 10 via a BLC NL/ML converter are there, too! However, ALL sources show up, such as QPlay -- which is useless in the U.S. -- appear. Even though we have only certain sources selected on the NL/ML Converter to show up as available on NL, ALL sources still show up. This was similarly a problem with the BeoSystem 4.

BTW, I had an earlier response from B&O support that it was IMPOSSIBLE to control the NL/ML Converter with the Halo. That person from support said that it was impossible because the NL/ML Converter had no sources. I replied and pointed out that it was the entire purpose of the NL/ML converter to make sources available on NL from the ML side.

Thanks! Tried it and it works. I guess it will only work for the Master Link device that is set as Master? And no ability to control volume, unfortunately. Would a BLI add volume control and/or ability to control ML products in two different rooms?

I tested and see that you're right: there's no volume control. For example, I can select a source on my BeoSystem 3 with connected speakers, but can't control the volume.

A separate NL/ML converter would be needed to make any former ML link room its own node on the NL system -- just like on the app.

The latest B&O app update now allows us to select NL/ML Converters as products to show up for control by the Halo.

Sounds great, only I cannot make the BLC NL/ML appear on the device list for Halo. 😂 It persistenly shows only the Stage (that it controls) and the A9 in the bedroom (that it doesn't currently). 

Meanwhile, BLC NL/ML is normally present on my home network and the B&O app sees it, actually right now I am playing one CD via multiroom on my A9 controlled through the app. Really confusing. 😁 But certainly looking forward to hearing more of your findouts Jeff while I try to make it work for me too. 👍

until I chanced the setting of one of my BLC from ASlave to VMaster (and back). Suddenly they appeared!

the ML sources are shown, but not the BLC line in.

Note: with BLI I already have complete access within my setup.

In the meantime, I managed to fundamentally f**k up the BLC, after endless power offs, factory resets and other "tricks" while trying to make itself shown in the Halo devices list, now it is in endless green-led-blinking mode... well, update, moved to orange LOL. Which means bringing it to the service center one pf next days, hopefully they can get it to work again. 😁

Anyway, ontopic: that Halo/BLC/BLI combo seems to be expanding on usability and variety of creative ways to incorporate existing products and control and automate them. Wow, amazing, can't wait to see how it develops!
