Khimo-

Could there be a way to show an icon on the Halo as the current time? Perhaps this could also be tied into an alarm that could be snoozed by movement of the wheel. This would be great to have the Halo functional as a B&O alarm clock.

Hi @Khimo Support,

Is there any possibility that you'd consider releasing BeoLiving Integration as a Docker Image or Virtual Machine ISO? I don't need yet another plastic box which will one day become e-waste, happy to pay for a license to use the software of course.

Fantastic idea! I'd prefer this too.

Plus I want more things to run in my 6 node Kubernetes cluster 😁

Hi everyone,

Thanks a lot for the suggestion, it is welcome as always and especially in this case as this is an idea we have thought about many times. It is not currently on the roadmap, but we'll never say never...

This is a great idea BeoJeff, and we actually just added a

There are now TWO iOS apps that seem to be nearly identical - yet one claims ownership by B&O and the other claims ownership by Khimo. There has been no mention of the BLI on the B&O site. Likewise, Khimo no longer seems to be using the BeoIntegration site to provide documentation. This was not how it was with the MLGW or the BLGW. Continued incorporation of ML products seems to not be well-planned. Most importantly, the B&O branding seems to be diminished in the new BLI. What is going on here? This all causes me to lose faith in Khimo's partnership with B&O.

Hi Beojeff,

The BeoLiving solution is a joint effort between Khimo and Bang & Olufsen. Khimo has always been the developer of B&O's smart home solutions (MLGW mk1, MLGW mk2, BLGW and the BeoLink's apps). It was decided to release this product as a joint venture to make the solution more flexible.

The BeoLiving app is the latest iteration of the BeoLink apps. The BeoLink2 app is on its way out and will soon be taken down from the app store. We want to make sure we give enough time for everybody to switch to the new app.

Beointegration.com is continuously being updated (please find the latest update about BeoLiving Intelligence here https://beointegration.com/beoliving-intelligence/) to show all the latest tools and information. The move of the documentation to its own webpage is to manage a more fluid support experience.  We believe this is a great solution as the BeoLiving Intelligence (BLI's) support documentation is now more complete, searchable and up to date. Please, send us any suggestion that you may have to make it better!

The BeoLiving Intelligence's branding illustrates the close partnership between Khimo and B&O, the two companies who have proudly been working together for the last fourteen years on providing great home integration experiences. 

Khimo-

I received my BLI today and tried the CLOCK and WEATHER macros for the Halo that you suggested on your site. I got them to work! Fantastic. This was my first time using the Lue coding and was a good way to begin learning how to use it.

Rather than having the Halo have "Cold" or "Hot" as the subtitle, would it possible instead to have the Halo show as the subtitle the actual temperature value from the Open Weather system? That would be much for informative than just "Cold" or "Hot."

I was able to make the subtitle show the temperature! I did this by comparing what was done in the WEATHER and CLOCK macros. I was also able to change from Celsius to Fahrenheit. I have absolutely no experience in coding. These examples you provide are very helpful in learning! I hope you keep adding some examples.

I've been making some adjustment/improvements to the Clock macro.

Being in the U.S., we're not accustomed to using a 24-hour clock. So I set the time to 12-hour time by adding this line:

hour = ((hour + 11) % 12 + 1)

I then changed the depiction of the state of the wheel to look like an actual 12-hour clock (not 24-hour) by changing that part of the code to this:

..tostring(math.floor(hour*100/12)))

Still, I haven't been able to make these two improvements:

1. Currently, the button does not show a "0" before a single-digit minute. It would be nice to have all minutes be two digits.

2. The depiction of the state of the wheel to look like a clock is actually upside down! It's like looking at a wall-clocked that's been mounted upside down. It would be nice to have the bright circular progress line begin at the top instead of at the bottom -- if that's possible.

Perhaps someone more familiar with Lua than I am might want to take on this challenge.

Hi Beojeff! Nice work with the 12-hour clock!!!

The first request is actually quite simple, just concatenate a "0" to minute if it's lower than 10, something like

if minute < 10 then
  minute = "0" .. tostring(minute):gsub("!","")
else
  minute = tostring(minute):gsub("!","")

The second request is probably not possible with this implementation. You could start the bar at 50% (12am/pm) but it would be a bit weird when it got to 6...

I read somewhere in this thread that the BeoLink2 app will be removed in the near future. I have a BLGW system, and I am unable to connect to it with the new BLI app. As a result, I am still using BeoLink2 for now.

Can you think of any reason that the BLI app cannot connect? I use the exact same IP address, username and password in the two apps - BeoLink2 works great, but BLI just times out.

Thanks!
