Happy testing, and as I said, keep it coming good or bad.

1. when JOIN-ed a device, display the main-speaker's name of the Group (same as on the display of the BS35)

2. Extend with a Favorite page (per NL device) in addition to the dots. Every Favorite page can hold op to ten artists/albums/tracks from Deezer/DLNA. In the B&o app the favorites can be chosen (changed, deleted).

3. ML sources connected to a BLC and set as integrated, can be choosen and started. But if for example one wants to change from Phono to A.Tape, despite the change in showing the A.Tape as source, the Phono continue to play (Note: this isn't only a phenomenon in the Halo, the app does the same). To change one first has to Std.by the ML/NL device and start the NL/ML master again with the other source.

4. add Standby for linked products.

5. confusing: if one wants to push a software update, one expect to search Product Settings of the Halo in the app, but one has to go to Settings, Products, Halo to push the software update. (maybe also a point of inprovement in general for the app. Sometimes "settings" are shown twice)

6. One iDevice is used to setup the Halo (f.e. iPhone). The other iDevice (iPad) doesn't show the image of the Halo (it becomes visible after adding a new Halo, but canceling the setup thereafter).

That's an excellent suggestion.

But why 9 Remotes? It’s too many of a Remotes for your Systems? That amount could’ve get you BeoLab 17 or something Better?

The Essence Remotes are $300 USD; to buy 9 of them is $2,700 USD.  If you know where I can get a set of Beolab 17s for that price I'll buy them immediately!

I use all the remotes quite regularly.  In the master bedroom I have a table version right next to my bed and a wall-mount near the dresser.  In the master bath I have one just outside the shower to control the M5 by the sink.  One each for kitchen, dining room, office, and lab; living room has one on the table and one on the wall.  Thus, each playback device has one remote except for master bed and living room which have 2 each due to my usage patterns.  I have used every single one of those remotes in the last 48 hours.

That's a MUST.
Would improve usability if there's e.g. "Stair Lights" instead of 2 buttons and "Radiostation XX" instead of 3 buttons...

Good news: it CAN play linked sources.

How do you access linked sources? Does the HALO has access through a NL/ML convertes (despite listed incompatible on the compatibility chart)?

How complicated would it be to implement the Moodwheel - which I consider to be one of the most brilliant ideas of B&O in recent times - from BS Moment on the Halo? Would that also require some hardware or is it only software dependent? 

If the Halo had the Moodwheel I think it would be the most perfect remote imaginable - plus the Moodwheel would fit nicely on the screen of the Halo and be a much better solution that other kind of music browsing.

I am pretty sure that is because the shown sources are sources linked to the BS1!

And - of cource - there must be a converter in the setup for that to be possible.

It should be possible! 😁
