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.

Thank you very much sharing your next steps regarding the integration into the Apple ecosystem with Siri integration. Sounds very promising. :)
But it sounds like half a step to me. When you are heading towards the Apple ecosystem, why not a full integration into Apple HomeKit? :(

We expect Siri Integration to be live at some point during december.

@Munchen, what would you like to obtain from "full integration" into HomeKit?

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.

On the subject of LK, we are aware of the new dimmers, and LK is sending us the new hardware so we can develop integration with these devices. We will let you know as soon as there is news on this front!

That great to hear. It is good that you maintain the integrations which are important to many users. While you are looking at the LK IHC integration, it would be nice to know why temperature control is not supported. I guess there must be a good reason, since it is an important part of the BeoLiving as well as IHC.

Hello all,

I was wondering if it is possible to trigger a macro from the widget screen of an iphone/ipad. I am asking cause I think it will be very convenient for macros that are used often. For example my garage door is connected to the BLI and in order to open/close it I need to unlock my iphone/ipad start the application go to scenes and press trigger the macro. Furthermore I have to do the same thing to open the main door of my house when someone is ringing the bell and I do not have a beoremote close by.

Hi Tassos,

You can via the new iOS Shortcuts (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jn2jql_Z_uo)!

Yes indeed! Shortcuts ( https://khimo.github.io/bli-guides/how-tos/howto-siri-shortcuts ) can be added as a widget, and this will be even easier as soon as the Siri integration we mentioned a couple of days ago comes out :)

Thanks for the answers 1990 and khimo support will try it asap!!!!

Hello again,

a quick question, how can you trigger the action via the shortcut when you are remotely connected?

 

Thank you

I think you can control it remotely if you have a HomeKit hub (Apple TV or dedicated iPad).

 

@Khimo: now the Contour has been released is there any chance we’ll get the Home Control screen on the Stage/Contour?
