I just received my Apple Watch. It can already control Philips Hue with an app. Unfortunately, the app for Lutron RadioRa 2 has not been finished yet. Something nice about the RadioRa 2 control is that we could use RadioRa 2 phantom buttons to control just about anything through the MLGW/BLGW -- including control of B&O devices. I'm considering connecting an Apple Airport Express to the BeoSound 5 in order to call up songs via Siri on the Apple Watch to play through the BeoSound 5 using AirPlay.
Controlling BeoIntegration with the Apple Watch
Well, you can try my app ;-)

I don't have my watch yet, so please let me know how it goes.

Phil-
I've installed your app and it looks GREAT on the Apple Watch! However, I can't get it to work. It has connected successfully with my MLGW, but it isn't showing any rooms to control. All I see is the demo room. How do you add rooms?
Phil,
this is great! Could you do it for Android and the Android Wear watches with round displays, too?
Or an Apple TV ... which is what I was using last night
I, too, used the Apple Watch to control my Apple TV connected to my tv last night. I find that an Airport Express is better to use for just streaming audio.

I, too, bought it the minute after they opened the website. For me, that was at 4:00 a.m.! I actually set my BeoTime alarm to get me up to make the purchase. I got the 42mm milenese loop. The fit is great. It's very comfortable.I'd like to buy some leather bands soon, too. My initial gripe with the watch is that in order to use Apple Pay, you have to use a passcode -- which is a total pain to have to unlock your watch every time you use it. Therefore, I'm choosing not to use the Apple Pay feature so that I don't need to keep unlocking my watch.
Your app looks GREAT on the watch. The interface you designed seems ideal. I was able to connect it to my MLGW using the settings on the iPhone app. However, it only shows your demo zone. Using your demo zone, I can sometimes (not always) get the video source to switch to DTV and can sometimes (not always) put everything into standby. That's all I can get it to do, though. I'm guessing that when the app connects with the MLGW that is should automatically show all of the zones, sources, and scenes from the MLGW?
