My B&O Icons:
Yep. It’s great some are enjoying the look and feel of this remote. At present, I’ve not seen the post-release progress in this to justify £700 in terms of functionality. Let’s hope B&O integrate some more functionality later this year to make this product really shine.
Hi,I would love if B&O would unveil a bit more of the potential of the Halo:- BeoSystem4 / BeoVision 11 / Avant Engine- BLGW (BLI or MLGW) integration- Lights It could be kind of an universal remote for almost everything out of the B&O universe (and even more e.g. Philips Hue).I am not sure if B&O does not see this potential, if they are ignoring it or if they are simply not able to do the software magic...Best regardsDoc Leisure
Although I spoke of being ‘hopeful’ the likelihood is that B&O will do little if anything further with the Halo. They had a great quirky design and got distracted like an arty architect whilst neglecting the functionality of a building. The B&O 5 and 6 remotes got dropped within a few short years of release and I’m wondering if the Halo will have the same fate. Let’s be ‘hopeful’ and ‘positive’….
any new functions?
Is the volume wheel only for volume control or does it allow scrolling through lists / menu items? Like a gigantic jog dial, that would be a great idea for nowadays big music libraries.
For those familiar with Halo operation, two questions:
1. From Halo directly, can a user initiate the “Timer” function? For clarity, this is the function within the B&O app that allows a user to tell systems, among other things, “Go to Standby after x minutes.” (I use this to listen to music as I fall asleep and set my bedroom system to turn off automatically after 10min when I’m asleep.)
2. From the Halo directly, can a user manipulate the “Alarm” function for a given device as it operates within the B&O app?
Thank you!
Just thought I’d give this a bump again in case anyone has familiarity with the above. :)
It’s a no to both questions, unfortunately. No alarm/timer can be controlled direct from the Halo.
Huge thanks, Brian!
Big bummer. Seems like good functionality to have…
