What Home Assistant driver do you mean. Could you import homekit products into BLGW or the BLGW into the Home-Assistant-World?

The BLI can add Home Assistant as a system and add various resources from Home Assistant to control via Home Assistant. For example, you can add Ikea lights and Twinkly lights that have been added to Home Assistant. It's just for BLI, though, and not for BLGW.

After another reboot of my router, I encountered the same problem with the BLI not finding the Halos.This looks like it's a persistent problem. I've reserved IP addresses on my router for the Halos, BLI, BeoMaster 5, BeoSystem 4, and my two BeoSound Moments. Hopefully, this would improve stability.

I am sorry but indeed it is not the most stable product. It seems offline in the bli setup page. It needs to be wake up on Lan probably to save energy. Did you pick one up before resetting your Halo”s?

When you come to the proximity sensor it shows bang & olufsen and after 10 seconds I see the kitchen core page which I did NOT set as default page?

Anyone experiencing this as well on the default page?

I need 5 buttons in the hall. Nothing more. It starts to get annoying. I do agree that ipads in the wall are clutter however stable, more overview easier and faster to operate then the Halo. As I already have a monitor in the hall to show the camera”s ehen somebody presses the doorbird, the Halo was a good solution but fast no and especially the default page and startup time is annoying. Maybe better on POE?

I do not want to be to negative as it usually turns out fine in the end but waiting 30 sec to leave my home will get me back to Alexa and calling goodbye.

Hi there

When my halo proximity sensor detects me it goes right onto the normal page not the logo.

The Bang & Olufsen logo is an indication that the Halo has restarted. I sometimes see this screen, too. I also sometimes see a message on the screen telling me to use the app to setup the Halo. Usually, the problem just goes away on its own and the home automation screens reappear. Khimo is aware of the issue and is working on it.

Thank you for the explanation. Another argument for upgrading from BLGW to BLI 👍
