I assume, that you have no speakers connected directly to the BM5 - BS5 is in 'Option 0' then!?

Depending on which option your BV10 has, the 'wheely' in ir-mode will turn that on (or not).

Depending on, whether your BV10 is MLinked or not, there will come (Net)Radio or no sound from it.

Or maybe I did not understand your description of the setup correct?

Why not just use the Beo4???

You are correct, no speakers connected directly to the BM5 and BS5 is set to option 0.

BV10 is in option 6

BV10, BV7, and BM5/BS5  are all connected by Masterlink.

Yes, I could just use the Beo 4 and that is what I have been doing. The Essence remote is somewhat of just wanting a new B and O toy, with a  little added ease of use.

If I am walking through the room, I can press the Essence Remote and turn music on. If I want to select a specific track I am right there at the Beosound 5. 

Also, am hoping that a long press off on the Essence Remote will turn both rooms off when I have both on. I have an old link ey on the wall and do occasionally use it to turn entire system off although it serves no other purpose. It was installed in the room along with an active kit before I had a tv in the room.

My plan is to replace the link eye with an Essence Remote using the Settop Brackets adapter and gain a little functionality above the ole link eye.

Am I missing something? Do you see any problems with my plan?

Thanks!

 

Which ir-mode do you want to use?

The ir will activate the playback/control volume on the BV10 - touching the wheel of the BS5 will however activate the BV7 for playback etc.

Is that what you want?

Long press-turn all off will be fine, as far as I know.

There is a tv - and there is a BV.

Yes. What you describe is exactly what I want. ir mode 2. If I am reading the mapping document correctly on the Beointegration page, short press will activate radio (N. Radio on my BS5) and long press will activate cd (N. Music on my BS5)

May have misread what you wrote and responded incorrectly in last post. I want to activate the BV10 room with the Essence Remote. Currently, if I turn the BS5 on, with the Beo 4 in the room with the BV 10 and BS5, I can then use the BS5 to select music in that room, without turning on the BV7 room. I want to do the same with Essence. Turn on on via Essence remote and then select music on the BS5, without the other room turning on, just as it works now with the Beo 4.

Your sentence

'The Essence remote is somewhat of just wanting a new B and O toy'

now makes perfectly sense!

Happy playing ;-))

Hi guys, just for info, the Beosound Essence has a IR eye and reacts to the Beo4 too, so its very possible that the BeoTime also works.

In fact, it's not just a plate where you will plug the initial knob, it's a plate plus a new knob !

FYI, the 2 knobs are identical, and the first one can be plugged into the plate as well.

You make an interesting point. Buy a wall unit and make one's own plate !

Lounging on the bay, this offer caught my attention...

That is a really good option to the two official mounting solutions.

I like it!

Thanks for spotting.
