Moment and Core

The answer is NO. As MM and I said, the BS Moment and the Core are music systems on their own, not remote controller of any other B&O products.

The BS Moment can be controlled by its own tablet (JukeBox), the B&O App and by a B&O remote for basic functions.

The BS Core can be controlled by the B&O App and by B&O remotes for basic functions.

The BS Core cannot be controlled by the BS Moment, the BS core can borrow Moment audio sources (when linked) and they both support NL Multiroom, that's it

So are you saying that if you, for example, select a radio station on the Moment, you cannot stream that to the Core? That is what I mean by 'control', that is to say, the Moment directing music to the Core, and my Core then handling the rest (playing it through my BV10).

Correct, you cannot stream to the Core from the Moment the way you want to achieve it.

To be 100% transparent: I have seen this scenario happening with my Moment, that was not connected to any speakers (PL cable unplugged) and to which the Core was "linked" (a Core configuration option). Starting a Moment Line-In source woke up Core and its associated speakers like it would do through your BV 10. It worked this way for a while and then after either a power recycle, a factory reset or a change in the configuration, it stopped to work this way. I tried to recreate this scenario that was interesting to me, without success, and it is not documented either.

Thank you! That answers the question very simply. It will not work. How disappointing. I don't understand how an iPad or mobile phone can 'talk' to the Core and yet the B&O jukebox cannot. I suppose it is to do with the app is it? The iPad/phone is running the app and that serves as the command for the Core; and the jukebox is lacking that app feature.

The Moment tablet is not running the B&O app but a dedicated app to control the Moment itself. Could have been a nice enhancement to the Moment which unfortunately will not receive any more development

Got it. Thank you. Yes, an opportunity missed perhaps.

...and this is why you introduced the TR1 into the mix and plugged Moment and Core separately into it, right? Well that works for me. 😕

And what is the benefit then of "NL joining" Moment and Core?

I had the TR1 before the Moment.

I put the TR1 in the basement when the Moment replaced my previous HiFi amplifier as I could use my Wisa speakers directly with it.

I introduced the Core to plug my TV in the Optical IN as line-in delay can be deactivated in it, and also to backup my Moment so I can always listen to music with my Beolabs.

For that I re-introduced the TR1 configured as a Wisa switch so I can use either the Moment or the Core in solo to stream to my Wisa speakers.

The only occasion I use NL between the Moment and the Core is to play the Moment Line-In (Beogram plugged here) assuming the Core is the one active at that time (Core has the priority over the Moment in the TR1) to avoid shutting down the Core.

Voilà, you know more about my B&O life!
