1. Support for Ikea's home automation system. Just make it happen.

Offering an integration into Apple Homekit, would make your life much easier.
There are so many home automation system suppliers on the market, a small company like khimo will not even manage to integrate the most important once. So just give up, that everything has to be integrated into your system!

"Just" offer an integration into Apple Homekit, and let the smart home management be done in the Apple Homekit. Even so your system probably offers more and better functionalities for B&O products, Apple Homekit never will manage. Nevertheless you would open beoliving to a new customer group. And I am sure you would sell a lot of Beoliving Intelligence Essentials, additionally.

I don't agree. Have a proper driver for the BLGW gives far more control than integration with HomeKit. The HomeKit app is horribly basic and not something that I ever use. The beauty of the BLGW is that it can bridge together different systems and allow us to incorporate them in macros.

@Stefan, thanks to you! Best.-

I want to set Scenes for some of my products to start at a specific time. For example my BV12 in the living room should start at 19:30 on channel 1 and volume 20. The Beosound Stage should start at 07:00 to play TuneIn with volume 2.


Hello @Miki

Currently, the B&O Products only accepts the VOLUME command while they are playing, we have already reported this to B&O.

Best,
Khimo's team.

There are several workarounds to get it working what Miki wants.

First: select on the Beovidion the requested channel and volume. Then switch of the Beovidion. After that then make a macro in the setup of the BLGW and capture the command while putting on the tv. Tehn store the macro.

Second: use a macro with set volume and channel with differ-commands.

That's the way I use it every morning. Sucˆ. BeoHut

Thank you very much for your answer!

I wish I could solve it the way you describe but I am using a BeoLiving Intelligence in Essential mode and do not have the possibility to use macros as far as I know...

Maybe you can switch to a Beolink Gateway instead? Or go with the "advanced mode" where you can actually program your systems as you like it? I love my Gateway I must say.

Just bought the intelligence and it’s delivered tomorrow.

Congratulations!

You can write to support@khimo.com if you need any help!

Best,

the Khimo team.-

Thank you very much for that.

I was a Bata tester for the BLGW for many years so I should be OK 😁

In fact the IP65 biolock driver on the site was originally for my front door.

Just bought a hue bridge starter kit and hue button.

All being delivered tomorrow.
