BWLG and BeoRemote 1

13 replies

Ah ok the reason I want to be able to do this is because I have a series of LED buttons highlighting if the TV is on or if Apple TV is on or if the music is playing. See attached. Can anyone think of a way to incorporate this? It's good as it allows me to see whats on/off when i'm away from the property

 

Cheers,

Alex

Hi @ahjrennie did you get any further with this mission? I see why you're wanting to do what you're doing and I've found the STATUS_UPDATE to be a bit unreliable too. In theory it should be usable though. I'd love the BLGW to be able to pickup when I change source directly from the remote, for a few reasons (it's easier to explain to other people for a start - otherwise a lot of functionality of the BEO4 / BeoRemote 1 etc. Becomes pointless - e.g. pressing 'TV' to watch TV)!!
Hey Alex - are you still using STATUS_UPDATE to do this? I seem to be having more luck after figuring it out a bit more with the BLGW. Now when my Essence MKII turns-off or swaps to Deezer/TuneIn it turns my Sony TV off.
