Lintronic ready for Beo5

22 replies

I was reading Lintronic newsletter this morning and noted the following statement:-

LINTRONIC IS BEO5 READY
Yes sir, we ready indeed. Bring it on TT455-RT-238 will support the
new upcoming BEO5, allowing you to control by IR or RS232, or power line
carrier signals: Amplifiers, tv/screens, CD/DVD players/recorders,
projectors, relays, light systems, X10, computers, HomeAutomation programs
etc. etc.

So, we must assume that they have had a evaluation Beo5 made available to them for test

I thought that the Beo5 could be programmed to control non-B&O equipment, making a Lintronic-solution redundant. But am I missing something out here?

Christian,

I thought the same as you, hence why I raised the subject.

Lintronic can controll hidden devices. Beo5 not.

Lintronic can be programmed to make several commands from one incoming signal (instant or one by one). Don´t know if Beo5 can do this. 

Hi Daniel (tak for sidst :) ), what do you mean by hidden devices? Visually hidden or??

best regards

Chr.

I have no idea what Lintronic's relationship with B&O is, so they may know something about Beo5 that we don't. However, as a Lintronic user, it does more than just convert IR codes. In fact it does much more. It can receive external triggers from relays, x-10, etc. and convert them to IR. It can execute macros, and do other IR-related complex tasks as well. Even with Beo5, I will still use Lintronic.
