Try 5222, I haven't tried myself, but that's how it's advertised using Bonjour.

It took a while for me to see anything appear in there. Now it shows only virtual buttons that I created, not the actual B&O devices.

I think any should work, what would you like to connect??

my zones all show the global name and then the area name is there a way to avoid this?

I have created all my Zones under the Global area, rather than creating areas. Not sure if that helps.

Hi Phil

It's a great piece of kit isn't it.

My bv7 is the video master but when I was using capture it also found the link room TV set to option 6. Under resources I have audio master and video master and the link TV is listed as a number.

How can I create a virtual button, is this like cinema on / off?

i think I would like to connect my ilight source controller via rs232 and see if I can create some custom stings. I do hope bang and olufsen create a driver as it would give me much easier setup but I'm not sure they are big enough for them to do this.

so many possibilities

One of my TV didn't show up as well at first. I read I needed to force a Master Link synchronisation. Which worked, but I cannot find how to do that again!!!!

A virtual button appears in the app. Under Scene. You can name it as you want and it can be used to trigger macros.It is created in Resources > Virtual Resources.

Which light control system have you got?

Regarding the ports, I found this:

Hi Phil

i added bv3 by pressing capture and turning the TV on to a link room source.

it seems to appear.

once added I can see the TV and sources but the TV does not respond to any commands, I must be doing something wrong?

what is the link tick box for?

 

Hi Phil

i have an Ilight 4x5 amp source controller with si2 serial interface,

http://www.ilight.co.uk/products-source-controllers-inductive.html

i have this with four zones in my living room running 3 lamps and 1 main light. I have the serial interface but never installed it

i actuality have the 5 button light switch that responds to the beo 4

I would love some lutron radio ra for some other rooms that mixed with hue.

 

cheers

The LINK simulates pressing LINK on the Beo4 remote. It calls the Master source, if you have a local source that hides it.

Ex. TV will call the local TV's tuner. LINK TV will call the Video Master's TV tuner.

Check your TV to make sure it's passing/re-routing the commands

You'll do this under the second level settings.

Red + Go when the options menu is present.

CONGRATS on the blgw. It's a fantastic tool.

The beovision 3 cannot pass LIGHT and CONTROL commands. But it should be able to be controlled by the app.
