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!

My point is that the BLI app cannot connect to my BLGW. I enter username and password and it doesn’t work. Beolink2 app works fine. Since I cannot connect to my BLGW I can’t do anything…

Hi kmortensi,

Please contact us at support@khimo.com and we will help you solve the issue, you should be able to connect to the BL app just fine.

I'd like to make a suggestion for future development of Halo control:

While it's nice to be able to use the Halo wheel to change the color of lights, we still need to be able to dim/raise the light level. It would be nice to have one function available after a short press of the Halo icon yet have another function available after a long press of the icon -- thereby letting us control both the color and the intensity of the light.

Hi BeoJeff,
Suggestion noted, of course :) We agree with your vision!

The normal uses of the Halo aren't designed to change the context of a resource so dynamically, so at the moment this kind of default interactions with short/long press is not available.

Wouldn't it work for you place two buttons next to each other that control the level and color of the same resource?

Well, doubling the buttons needed would quickly deplete the available buttons that can be used and detract from the elegance of the interface.

???? you can dim/raise the light level with the Halo wheel, at least of Hue. 

Currently, you can only either change the level or change the color with a single button of the Halo. You can't do both from the same button.

But maybe just a concept for Khimo to think about:

BLI settings trigger:

Event: Halo button, 

Command: IF icon (or other trigger) = lights THEN

                         Lua program to dim "lights" + after 10s change the icon to "rgb color" 

                   ELSE Lua program to change  colors + after 10s change the icon to "lights"

Would this work?
