Hi Khimo support,

******

1st quistion: 

I've connected my BLI with my KNX system and want my outdoor light to turn-on after sunset and turn off at 10pm - which works fine with a Macro in BLI. 

Now my issue: after 10pm I want my outdoor KNX PIR to turn on lights 15min in the hours bewteean 10pm until sunrise with a 2nd macro. 

how do do a Macro with an "AND" condition as the EVENT trigger i.e. as I need 2 conditions to be fulfilled??

[EVENT1] if PIR trigger yes
"AND"
[EVENT2] the time is between 10pm and sunset
[COMMAND] then do then do XXX

2nd quistion: 

I've programmed my KNX Wall switch to turn on my B&O sound system in each room (e.g. start spotify) but is there any possibility to get a "text" back from the B&O Core with the Song title or Radio program that I can add to my KNX swithc?

3rd quistion: 

Any plans to allow to us change and modify the Icons on the BLI iPhone APP?

e.g. my wife dont associate the B&O CORE sound system as hidden in a closet with the BeoLab speakers - e.g. it would be more natural with an icon of the actual speaker (e.g. Lab17 in the kitchen and Lap18 for the livingroom etc.) to represent the sund system

for the lights in each room it would great if we could add an ICON as well to visualize what type of lamp a button represent - i.e. if a cealing light, floor lamp, spot etc.

Thanks for the support - happy BLI user!

For Q1 you can easily configure separate system modes and the have macros only fire in certain modes. I e.g. have two modes: HomeDay and HomeNight. These are automatic set based on time of day. I have a macro that sets up my living room lighting when I push the Netflix button, but only if mode is HomeNight. Works great

Hi there, I know this thread principally focuses on the BLI, but I was wondering if there was any support to make use of the IR input on the BeoLink Gateway? It would be great to use that as a resource to trigger macros etc. Is that a possibility?

Thanks @ kMortenesi - yes that worked for item #1

 

Hello khimo team, I am changing my Beoplay V1 which served me well all these years. My current setup is using V1 for TV viewing and as the surround decoder for when I use my projector. There are many drawbacks in this setup and the biggest is that the projector's screen unfolds in front of the TV which is nice since I am using the TV's speaker as a center speaker but given that the V1 has only IR control means that while I am using my projector the only way to control the system is the BLI/B&O app (I have tried the lintronik solution (use it like an IR repeater) but I prefer to use as less boxes as possible). There are issues as well when the V1 joins a Beosound Moment I use for music, etc etc. So I decided to move the V1 to the Bed room and get a new one for the living room. If our beloved B&O decided to make a new Beosystem that would incorporate 4K it would be the ultimate solution for me but given that they won't I am thinking of getting an eclipse sound center and pair it with an LG C7 or C9 panel. The reason I go for this solution is that eventually I would like to be able to change the TV screen without having to pay an arm and a leg. 

So I would like to know the following:

How the sound center is going to be identified from the BLI? As a TV or as a sound source?

Will the home control screen be available to both C7 and C9 panel? To none of them? to one of them?

I am currently using one of the macros available to your site which uses the TV screens as doorbell screens. Will this work the same way with such a setup?

Will controlling the new setup be done the same way as it would be with an eclipse?

 

Thank you

Dear @JensHauge,

Q1: as @kmortenesi suggested, the easiest solution is to have a system mode for "night" and add set your macro to only work in the "night" mode, you should also create the macros to set and unset the night mode. Another option is to create a LUA macro, but will be more complex.

Q2: Using LUA macros, you can copy a state value from a resource (the core as an example) to a KNX resource (group address). But, we don't support string "group address", so you will not be able to send the string :(. You can send a "playing" or "stop" signal maybe? You can find all the supported KNX resources at https://khimo.github.io/help_drivers/KNX/#address

Q3: Currently it is not in our roadmap, but we know that you have a good point.

Best,

the Khimo support.-

Hi Tassos!

The BeoVision Eclipse SoundCenter is a normal Eclipse TV from the BLI point of view, it will be identified as a TV.

The Home control screen is available on the BeoVision Eclipse SoundCenter (C7) so you will also be able to get the doorbell on the screen. All this is rendered by the TV.

Best,

the Khimo team.-

Thank you for the response! Will the home control screen be available for newer panels than the c7?

@Khimo Could you also elaborate on the availability of the Home Control-menu for the Stage (with or without LG C9/CX)?
