BeoLink Gateway | Release Notes

Changes in BLGW 1.5.2 since previous BLGW SW version 1.5.1:

New features 

  • Add Deezer & TuneIn content to the play queue directly from a macro in the BLGW. This can be used to start a certain playlist or genre when the customers are coming home and activates their coming home scenario. Please note that the Deezer playlists needs to be public in order to access them from the BLGW. It is not required to login to TuneIn or Deezer from the BLGW for this feature to work.
  • It is now possible to move buttons from the “scene” tab to other tabs if they don’t make sense there. Sometimes a button is used to close a shade or adjust the light and now you can move the button to the category where it belongs. Find this setup in the Interfaces tab under Zones setup.
  • Support for RTSP (H.264) cameras when used with latest BeoLink2 app.
  • A new Generic UI type in BeoLink2 app for streaming sources like Airplay, Bluetooth, Spotify and QPlay, Google Cast etc. Re-synchronize the sources in the Interfaces tab in BLGW to get the new UI Type in the app.
  • Adds the possibility to create virtual dimmers and shades. See the BLGW help page for more information regarding this feature.

New & updated drivers 

  • KNX driver – added the possibility to use a different group address for feedback for the resources types TOGGLE and GPIO.

Bug Fixes 

  • Improved process of starting up of TV’s in deep sleep.
  • Various bugs have been identified and fixed.

This is a great update. Now we can finally have control over playing specific TuneIn stations and Deezer playlists -- much like how we could create macros involving Spotify from the BeoSound 5 -- before that support was discontinued. I know this is a feature some on here were hoping for in order to have more control over how an NL source starts.

It looks like the relevant commands are:

Playque add TuneIn station

Playque add Deezer playlists

Playque add URL

 

However, there isn't much guidance on how we actually select the specific playlist/station. Perhaps that's what the "Playque add URL" is for? I do see where  one can see a specific URL on the computer web browser when playing a playlist on Deezer on the computer. Perhaps its a matter of cutting and pasting this URL? It looks like this will take some experimenting and sharing our results on here.

yes, a big step forward! 

move buttons from the scene tab is so important! and the second big thing is the virtual dimmer and shades. it opens a new way of programming of custom strings.

I do with that they had allowed us to define and label our own tabs. Also, a feature that was lost from the transition from the MLGW to the BLGW was the ability to insert blank buttons in the app interface so that we could visually group scenes together and have the groups separated by the blank buttons.

BeoLink Gateway | Release Notes

Changes in BLGW SW 1.5.3 since previous version 1.5.2:

New features 

  • Added support to use Bang & Olufsen products using FIXED IP address so Gateway can reside on a different VLAN. Find this configuration under Interfaces > B&O Products.
  • Adds "Edition of user macros" flag to user settings, limiting which users could create scenes from the BeoLink2 app.

New & updated drivers 

  • OpenWeather driver: fix bugs due to changes in API.
  • Added Picture Mute command to Bang & Olufsen products.

Quality improvements

  • Improved stability of Khimo connection.
  • Corrects synchronization of status telegrams from B&O products.
  • Fixed bug that was preventing selecting Link sources on Master Link products.
  • Several improvements done to the IP Camera feature both using local and remote connection.
  • Solves an error in time synchronization: BLGW could become unresponsive if no internet was available
  • Several bugs have been identified and fixed

Hi, I updated my gateway yesterday. After the update all my Masterlinkproducts (BV 755, BS5, BL 3500) became unresponsive. I have restarted both the gateway and all the ML products but no buttons in the Beolink APP works. Can someoneelse confirm if this is a general problem or just a problem with my gateway?

 

best regards

Martin Ström

Hi Martin

I beta tested 1.5.2 and at that time I had a ML BV7-55 and control worked perfect.

Perhaps check your ML cable and remove the ML devices and add again.

Or

Create a case at Beointergration they are rally helpful

Hi Seanie, I upgraded yesterday to 1.5.3 and it was then all ML-products stoped working. The "beolink" symbol is green in the right corner in the web-interface but still not working. I have written to Beointegration and is awaiting some answers.

Best Regards
Martin

I've had problems, too. My macros would no longer work on my BeoSystem 3. When I use the capture function to try to detect the BeoSystem 3, it does not register any video source commands and detects the BeoSystem 3 as an audiomaster (instead of videomaster) when I send an audio source command. However, I have an ML/NL Converter set as audiomaster.

I had to change macros that use my BeoSystem 3 to have them send the commands through the ML/NL Converter.

Hello,

Did you have the errors with 1.5.3 or with an earlier version?

Best Regards,

Federico.-
