So exciting to see your interest in the Nuki driver! Hopefully, we'll get to the goal 🙂

GLOP: we are actually in the process of adding support for Italian on our Alexa skill! Adding languages and new regions (even in a previously available language as you suggested) requires the integration undergoing a long acceptance process from Amazon, we hope this will go through soon, but there are no guarantees. We will keep you guys posted!

Dear Ivan, what is the difference between a ML GW and BLGW? And if I buy the ML GW now and later if I have newer equipment and buy a BLI will the BLI have access to my older systems through the ML GW or will I also need a BLI with BL GW for this?

Kind regards, Edwin

ethuijs: The BLGW offers a great deal of integration and automation possibilities in comparison to the MLGW, you can find guides to both systems here: https://beointegration.com/help-files/

If you are thinking to move to the BLI later, they can both (BLGW & MLGW) be used as interface for the BLI to control the legacy products.

 

My ML GW will arrive tomorrow. I have been reading some documentation already from your site. Thank you. Connecting it to ML will not be a great deal, even for a newbe like me on Home Automation . It would be nice to integrate some Light switches and Light Dimmers on the system also.

Questions:

1. What make of light switches / dimmers should I buy to integrate with ML GW via IP of Wifi or via a IP/Wifi bridge to an other protocol like Hue or Zigbee?

2. Can there be a time schedule programmed in the ML GW to switch the lights on and off at desired times?

3. Can the ML GW connect to the Honeywell Round Connected Thermostat?

Kind regards, Edwin

Hi again Edwin,

As I mentioned, the MLGW is pretty limited and it is not possible to integrate with modern systems such as Hue. I would highly recommend you use it to control your Legacy B&O products, and integrate to 3rd party systems through a BLI.

For Hue you can use Lightmanager Air with a Lintronic converter to use it with your BEO remote

Good day one and all,

Just to let you know that the

Hi Edwin

note that there is support for MLGW in Home Assistant, the Python code is pretty much portable to other home automation platforms that are based on python

That integration does enable a lot of cool stuff with MLGW, including integration with streaming audio, lights, scene controllers etc.

Dear all,

We are very happy to tell you that the latest release of the BeoLiving Intelligence's firmware and the BeoLiving app includes, on top of a great number of small bug fixes and driver improvements, basic integration with the newest generation of B&O equipment: BeoSound Balance, BS Emerge, BS Level & BeoLab 28. Integration includes flow control, volume control, source, etc. and you are also able to send Light & Control BeoRemote commands through these systems to the BLI.

That's all, just wanted to let you know :) Hope you are all doing well!

Kind regards,
Ivan and the whole Khimo team.

 

Hi Khimo Team (and of course Ivan ;-),

could "basic integration with the newest generation of B&O equipment:" also indicate any progress in regards of the integration of the BeoRemote Halo (as the BeoRemote Halo is the newest generation of B&O Remote equipment)?

Looking forward to great news or a comment!

Best regards

Doc Leisure

Will the BLI work with the new Beoremote-Halo in some way?

We can not comment! But...

There was just a new firmware released for the BeoRemote Halo - unfortunately without BLI support.

We can still not comment, sorry (:

Hi DocLeisure!

We still can't comment, you'll have to wait and see what the future holds (?
