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

I would like to integrate my B&O equipment into my HomeKit automations. E.g. leaving the house. Apple homekit would not only turn off all lights and reduce the temperature additional I would love to trigger that all B&O systems turn off.

All Smart Home devices I use are supporting Apple Homekit, but not all are supported by Beoliving like Netatmo, eve or tado.

Hi Khimo

 

Can you help with a picture of a BLI macro, where you use the Openweather API ? 

And is it possible to show the current outdoor temperature on the Webpanel, instead of the dummy temperature??

 

Thank you for a great product, and your part in this forum.

how can you trigger the action via the shortcut when you are remotely connected?


Yes, you could probably get it working via a HomeKit Hub, but in our next update you will be able to easily (one-step) add the BLI's scenes to Shortcuts and activate them remotely through Khimo (PRO BLI or BLGW).

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


We can (very happily) confirm that the Home Control screen will be available on both the Stage and the Contour in their next software update!

You could do this by adding a Shortcut to your HomeKit automation scheme that turned off all your B&O equipment :)

Hi CTR84,

It is not possible to show the temperature on the webpanel, I'm not really sure what you mean by dummy temperature...

Also not sure what you would like to see about the OpenWeather driver in use. It is normally used as trigger for Macros, you can see all the parameters in the link.

You could also use the information it provides as a conditional with . E.g. check if it is raining and condition some action in your macro on this:

current = engine.query("Main/global/_CURRENT_WEATHER/current_weather") 
if current[1].get("_Rain") == "true" then

   Do something

end

Hi Khimo.

Thank you for a very fart reply.

 

Please see pictures for “dummy driver” temperature

Hi Again CTR,

It is not possible to configure the temperature of a dummy thermostat.

They are not meant for this purpose, and a thermostat's temperature is never changeable as it should reflect the measured temperature.

Any idea when the update will be?
