For your last question, you can accomplish this by using the Modes. I e.g. have a Day and a Night Mode (which is set based the clock). You can then configure the macros to only fire in certain Modes. For example: when I press the Netflix button on my remote, I want the lights to dim to movie mode, but only at night. If I watch Netflix during the day, lights remain off. Very simple setup, but it works great

Oh OK, so by just using something like the following:

function(event, engine) 
  time = engine.query("*/ */SYSTEM/Clock/") 
  if time[1].get_number("hour") > 16 or time[1].get_number("hour") < 23 then
    engine.fire (what I want etc)
else  
    engine.fire (the other stuff which would work from 23 to 16)
end
end

 



Nest Thermosat API is not supported any more...:(( Is there a backdoor for the BLGW and the intelligence? Only all-ready supported dives wil work. Bud not new connected systems.

I need some help to some basic stuff, but can't seem to find anything about it.

I have just upgraded to Pro, but.

How do I get to my screen on Webbrowser?

And how do I make a Login?

Okay I feel like this is not going great when I can't even figure out to access the webpanel, and I feel like the guide is on the webpage is limit.

It is saying:

link

The setup interface is the most important tool for the configuration/programming of your BLI PRO. The following sections will guide you through the entire web interface configuration tool. The BLI PRO has a special user -admin- meant for installer/technician usage. By default, admin's password is unknown due to security purposes. To make use of the Setup interface, password for admin user must be reset by activating the Setup button function number 2 (). After a successfull button function input, admin password will be "admin" for the next 5 minutes (also for security purposes) and as soon as you log in you will be asked to change it.

So I come to the login in screen.

What is my username?

And the code is admin right? when I have press the button on the BLI?

I'm wondering, is it possible for the app to remember what source is playing on a masterlink device?

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.

Hi Khimo,

I just fired up the original beolink app on my iPhone and this remembers the last playing source for a zone even if the app is quit.


It’s a really painful experience using the new app with ML zones since as soon as the app is resumed from the screen going off or standby the zone resets as if nothing is playing, presenting the select source button. This becomes especially frustrating if the ML speaker has Joined an NL source via the converter as the source then has to change in order to get control of the zone again.

Please please please could you consider updating the app to remember the last playing source for an ML zone? 

For me and I’m sure for others the old information on screen for an ml zone is much better than having to start again, and in any case the select source button is there in the same place, so shouldn’t cause any usability issues. The beo4 remote remains on the last selected source and doesn’t cause confusion in our household so I think the app behaving in the same way for ML would be fine. Perhaps an expiry on the selected source would help so it remembers the source for 6 hours from selecting (like a website cookie expiry works) before reverting to the select source screen.

 

many thanks,

I also stand behind this and this functionality that exist in the 1st version of BeoLink app, this is the single reason that keep me use this version instead of Beolink2 and BeoLiving app.

Located in Sweden and have passion for B&O since my years in school. Had the pleasure to be employed by the local B&O dealer in town in the 90th and got an education on the B&O product range at that time (the last fully 2-way integrated products).

Now fascinated about how far ahead B&O was with their Link integrations that you can still use to control and integrate 40 years old products in your smart home.

Prefer the older products since I feel those had a different classic to them and also they were priced/aimed more to the market so that normal people still had a chance to realize their dream and own a B&O product.

Hi Khimo. 

 

Which thermostats can provide temperature input to the BLI app?

I have LK IHC which normally works perfectly with BLI.

 

But which ones can you recommend?

I see google have kind of dusted off an API that can work with nest again - link - and that

Hello there

I had a nest in my old house when i had BLGW but when I moved the nest stayed.

I am really interested in getting another internet enables thermostat in my new house to be able to control the heating more advanced that I have today.

I would like it to work with BLI also so interested in the question from CTR if you are planing to incorporate nest again even if its in the pro mode.

If not what term’s work in the UK with BLI that are also apple enabled and accessible online?

Thank you

Sean
