Masterlink Gateway

What benefits does the ML gateway offer over a FULLY functional and integrated beo5 (i.e. all 3d party controlled)?

Thanks

MJM

The MLGW does nothing on its own, but allow your home automation system to control your B&O system and vice versa.

So with a Beo5 you could send commands to your Home automation system in order to control devices that are not controlled by IR and not in the same room.

Also the home automation system could, based on some events (time, temperature, presence detector) send commands to your B&O system.

Does anyone have the RS232 protocols for the MLGW?

Specifically, I want to hook it up to a SavantAV automation system and have

the Savant control the B&O. . 

I would assume that the MLGW will do anything I could do with a B&O remote. . 

I.E. if the software for the HA has a picture of the Beosound 9000 and I press disc 3 in the picture. .the MLGW could tell the Beosound 9000 to turn on disc three just like if I used the BEO5 remote in a link room. . 

Is there any reason this wouldn't work?

The next major software update to the MLGW will allow direct serial control for devices like Savant. That way, instead of relying on B&O to internally build and test the modules for new systems like AMX, Control4, Savant, etc, the dealers will write the codes for what they need and, I'm sure, be able to share. We'll see how this manifests once it's released, but I know that there are already a few dealers interested in Savant as a Crestron alternative.

 

Will SOMFY motorized window coverings and controls can work seamlessly with MLGW ?

Trip,

When is this update expected?

Well,

I have ordered my MLGW..  will report with results.

I expect to incorporate it with Lutron Radiora 2

Any tips?

MJM

Trip,

You seem to be the only guy who knows much about the MLGW.  Do you have version 2?  The instructional video looks like you can basically have it do full B&O automation throughout the home .. .and. . .create your own iPhone custom app?

Can the MLGW control a Beocenter 9500?
