BLGW Go Update

62 replies

Hi again,

After further perseverance the firmware finished its installation at 150%. But everything went really smoothly once it downloaded everything. All configuration settings were carried across into the new firmware was previously I've had the network IP address reset and macros which would not trigger so far very happy.

The new BeoLink2 app is starting to grow on me, I like the interface and had a little bit of a clean up of the programming to make things look cleaner on the interface but there does seem to be some problems controlling PUC sources (maybe still work in progress) so far I have noted the following items:

1. When using Virgin Tivo the stop button does pause live TV but the Play button changes source, pressing stop again resumes live TV

2. I have Plex Media Player on a Mac Mini and have lost the ability to navigate around the interface because the Colours and Arrows screen is not displayed (or I couldn't find it)

3. Like reported earlier, I use custom strings to drive Rako lighting and Somfy blinds using buttons under Scenes. It would be a great enhancement to specify where these buttons could go, i.e. Lights and Shades.

Also noticed that there is the ability to define strings, I haven't played with that be excited that it may be able to display the status of items in the Beolink2 application. Something to try at the weekend.

After installing the new BLGW sw, the old Blink app (so not version 2) gives issues. Everything works well, only when I want to go to the "homecontrol part", the app stops and goes back to the homescreen of my iOS device. Tried it on a iPad mini 2 and on a iPhone 7, both gives these problem. The Beolink2 app does work proper. Only missing the possibility to make timer tasks.

Have a look below

Feedback

Button status feedback is planned to be added for the next release

The ability to designate a device as a light or shade etc has been reported and is being investigated.

When I go to settings in the Beolink2 app, I can only choose deezer log in, not Tunein log in. When I use Tunein as source, the radios starts and I can go to different favoite stations, but not the possibility to see the logo's. Also not possible to search stations. I got the message in the radio search screen that I first have to go to Tunein and add some favorites, which I actually already did. Anybody knows?

I'm curious to give Deezer a try. However, I have all ML and not NL. Does anyone know if one can push Deezer to a connected Airplay device, for example an Airport Express connected to a B&O ML audio master?

The status LED is being planned for the next release of BeoLink2

Does anyone know how to insert spaces between lines of Scenes when viewed on the app so that we can group Scenes together in a logical and visual way? I know that we can move the order of Scenes in the programming interface. However, there is no option to create blank buttons for insertion between groups of Scenes like there was back in the days of the MLGW programming interface.

So has anyone explored writing their own drivers as yet?
