I had Beoliving 2.0.0. (120) installed from the testflight and reported bugs via testflight feedback - no response.

Hi Stefan,

Sorry for not answering your feedback on TestFlight 🙁, we are working on a solution to the compact button (1).

Regarding 2, is this something that was happening before? Did you enable the app to access your location? We use location to speed up the connection.

Regarding 3, sorry, it is still in the backlog.

 

Thanks,

the Khimo team.-

 

Now you were quick :) very quick:))

I have beta 2.0.1. installed and problem 1 and 2 solved!

To answer your question regarding '2' Yes, it happened in the prevoius version, too - and, yes, location access is (and was) enabled for Beoliving app.

For No.3: maybe my solution is worth thinking about - I have it already tested - works, but only in the LIGHTS section unfortunately...)

Thank you!

Stefan

Regarding previous questions you have asked:

Is there any way to make the bli "see" the 4c as an a/v renderer? And in case it can is it in your plans to make it happen?

For BeoCreate 4C we do not have further integration in our plans at the moment.

Are there any plans to integrate Ikea directly into BLI?

We would like to be able to add integration to IKEA, the issue at the moment is that they have not yet released an official integration protocol. We do not lose hope that they will do so soon!

I've Somfy RTS Venetian blinds that I've linked up to my homeseer server via an RXCOM RFXtrx433E device, it works brilliantly for automations that open and closes them on sunrise, sunset, leaving home etc, but it would be nice to somehow manually control them in beoliving too but I don't think that'll be possible without some sort of custom driver in the BLGW.


If using Somfy shades, we do have a driver that integrates the BLI with the

As we cannot access the state of the MasterLink product, we prefer to let the user define what the product is playing, than showing old information that might not be correct and cause confusion.

Thanks for the explanation, am I correct in thinking the old MLGW can receive status updates from the players? If so would having the MLGW and the associated driver push ML status updates to the app?

Thanks for letting me know about the Somfy driver too, will this work on the BLGW?

Are there any plans to integrate with NodeRed? This would really open the door for third party integration.

The ML protocol driver enables sending commands, but not receiving source information. It is not part of the communications protocol and because of this, we cannot implement this functionality :(

The Somfy driver is available for the BeoLiving Intelligence on PRO mode.

We shall look into Node-Red! What kind of integration are you imagining?

We will release Siri integration soon, all the Beoliving scenes will be available to Siri using apple shortcuts and you will be able to create shortcut automation too.

Hi Khimo

Do you have a timeline?

Will the scenes be imported into HomeKit automatically?

Cheers

Hi Khimo

I'm using the integration for LK IHC in my system. LK recently released a new dimmer, which i guess will replace previous versions. This functions in the same way as previous dimmers, but is not automatically imported to the BLGW. I can find the ID of the dimmer manually, but the BLGW will not let me add it, as it can not recognize the ID. Is there any chance you would look into this? As all lights in my house are controlled by these, this is a rather large setback,
