it was just a long shot. But it would be interesting to know what the error says.

From learning point of view, I will have to look to the Home Assistant options.

I'm in the middle of building a new home set-up from scratch and so far i have purchased the following components:

 

  • BLI with Pro software
  • 1X BS Essence MK2 connected to 2X BL3 in the kitchen
  • 1X BS Essence MK2 connected to in an active in ceiling speaker in the bathroom
  • 1X BS Core intregrated to my BV14-55 with 2x BL3 in the living room

 

Now i'm looking at expansion. My wishes are:

- Hue lamps for all rooms + Hue Bridge

- Honeywell Evohome thermostats system for all rooms

- Outside camera system + Video doorbell.

 

For the latter im asking you advise. Are you guys using outside camera's and a video doorbell and can you please react which ones works seamslessy with the BLI?

If the connection between Home Assistent and BLI is set correctly, the instruction should be:

  engine.fire("your_area/your_zone/SHADE/BLI_Resource_name/LOWER")

  engine.fire("your_area/your_zone/SHADE/BLI_Resource_name/RAISE")

  engine.fire("your_area/your_zone/SHADE/BLI_Resource_name/SET?LEVEL=10")

try these.

Any onvif ip camera will work. I would go for a POE camera as it saves hassle. I use a nvr as well. I use hikvison. There are better camera”s for less money as long as it supports onvif you should be ok

Doorbell. I use doorbird. Works fine BE SURE TO WIRE. Any doorbell which is not wired is stupid. Takes way to long. Doorbird is also expensive and low resolution I have bought this in 2018 could be there is a better system know.

Hue will work out of the box and Honeywell as well in Europe.

Hope it helps.

Hello everyone,

Just wanted to let you know that B&O are aware of the issue that causes the Halo connectivity problems with the BLI, and they are working on the fix. We will let you know as soon as we have news on this front 🙂

Thank you Carolpa

The function works perfekt now. So if I set the Halo to 25% shades, it set the shade på 25%.

 

But the Shade logo on the Halo goes back to show 100% - do you have a great solution??

Have a fantastic weekend

Maybe I do😕

Now I know the LEVEL settings work I will look into using the Halo wheel.

+ using the Wheel

 

make two Resources 1) Fired (bbolean) and 2) No (integer)

make two events for the Halo Shade button 1) button pressed and 2) wheel turned

then use the next code:

function(event, engine) 

  -- make Resource Variable Fired (Boolean)

  -- make Resource Variable No (Integer)

  local fired_query = engine.query("Upstairs/Study/VARIABLE/Fired")

  local fired = fired_query[1].get_boolean("VALUE")

 

  local shadeLevel=0

  local direction

 

  local nr_query=engine.query("Upstairs/Study/VARIABLE/No")

  local nr = nr_query[1].get_number("VALUE")

  if nr==nil then 

    nr=1 

  end

 

  if not fired then

    engine.fire("Upstairs/Study/VARIABLE/Fired/SET?VALUE=true")    

    if event.parameters()["OFFSET"] then

      if tonumber(event.parameters()["OFFSET"])>=1 then

        direction= true

      else

        direction=false

      end 

 

      if direction then

        nr = nr + 5

        if nr>100 then

          nr=100

        end  

      else  

        nr = nr - 5

        if nr<0 then

          nr=0

        end

      end

 

      shadeLevel = nr

      engine.fire("Upstairs/Study/VARIABLE/No/SET?VALUE="..tostring(shadeLevel))

      engine.fire("Upstairs/Study/Halo remote/Beoremote Halo Study/SET_TEXT?BUTTON=497f6eca-6276-4993-bfeb-000000810383&TEXT="..tostring(shadeLevel))

      engine.fire("Upstairs/Study/Halo remote/Beoremote Halo Study/SET_WHEEL_VALUE?BUTTON=497f6eca-6276-4993-bfeb-000000810383&VALUE="..tostring(math.floor(shadeLevel*100/100)))

      engine.fire("Upstairs/Study/SHADE/your_shade/SET?LEVEL="..tostring(shadeLevel))

    end

  end  

  engine.fire("Upstairs/Study/VARIABLE/Fired/SET?VALUE=false")

end
