Have been using BLI and its App for almost a year, replacing MLGW-BeoLink/BeoLink2 Apps, and must say that I have mixed feelings. I more and more think that BLI is/will be a great product for VERY recent B&O audio devices and home automation of non-B&O products. Looking at all the questions/discussion in the Forum about driver integration, macro programming... all unrelated to B&O!
If you use ML-based devices (audio and TV), BLGW and V1 or Horizon TVs BLI is a downgrade. There is poor integration of ML devices with features missing compared to MLGW/BLGW: no favorite channels, no NAS/BM5 browse possibility, no Deezer/Tunein control, no custom commands of third party devices (such as decoders), TV products displayed as audio devices !
BLI has certainly potential, but today not for B&O integration (except with very recent products). I hope Khimo will prove I'm wrong.
I think at some time B&O had to take a strategic decision: (1) further improve/update BLGW and BeoLink2 or (2) start from scratch and outsource everything. As a long-time B&O fan and user I would have liked they went with (1)...
