I hope the update does improve the stability with RadioRa 2. This has been an issue since the last update.

I see that no improvement has been made to the Home Control screen on BeoVisions. I had suggested to the team that they better organize the menu with submenus for dimmers, shades, thermostat, and scenes and use the color buttons to quickly access those submenus. As it is now, everything is lumped into one long list that you must scroll through. It seems odd that the menu shows icons for dimmers, shades, thermostat, and scenes, but you can't pull those up as submenus as you can in the iOS app.

I'm curious what the new BeoRemote One protocol entails. I've always thought that B&O would eventually need to at least enable use of the BeoRemote One for LIGHT/CONTROL commands via bluetooth on newer devices (in addition to BeoVisions) that no longer accept IR control.

Having now tested things (admittedly very quickly) I've found no issues with the upgrade once accepting the T&C for all users on the system (luckily not many). Control of Networklink and Masterlink products still works. BeoSound 5 cover art displayed nicely on the BeoLInk2 App. Macros continue to work which used to be my major concern with upgrades software, where previous releases have resulted in macros needing triggers re-saved.

The problem I've experienced with the later version of the BLGW software in that light and control commands from old Masterlink products are not processed by the gateway. This is still not fixed. However, B&O have previoulsy claimed there are no issues with the software even though all the Masterlink products I own work correctly among themselves and respond to ALL STANDBY which would suggest that cabling is not the issue.

With which mastering products are you having trouble? Are they connected to your network via NL/ML Converter? If so, some products connected via the converter (other than the master product that is connected to the BLGW via cable) will lose the ability to transfer LIGHT/CONTROL commands since that product is on a separate ML system than the BLGW. The solution for this is to connect an IR receiver to the NL/ML Converter and program the NL/ML Converter to forward LIGHT/CONTROL commands.

Hi,

Sorry for late reply, been away on holiday.

The problem is with a BV10-32. Its is cabled directly into the mastelrink and the send light commands to the BLGW is enabled. The product cannot be controlled from the BLGW nor send light commands to the BLGW.

Other masterlink products are BS5, BL3500 and the convertor. All seem to work and music can be shared between them and the converter correctly allows for TV and music to be shared between networklink and masterlink products.

Also I have tried to send light commands from the BS5 which also doesn't work. Initial B&O suggested a cabling issue but as the products can be controlled and play music correctly between themselves this seems unlikely.

How is your converter connected and is it set as V.Master? Is your BV10 set as V.Master? Remember that you can only have 1 V.Master in a ML system. If your BV10 and your converter are both set as V.Master, you will have a conflict. I had something similar to this happen when I had a converter connected to a BV10 to play a BeoSound Moment through its speakers and also had another converter used in another room as V.Master. In order to transmit LIGHT/CONTROL commands from the room with the BV10, I had to attach an IR eye to the converter connected to the BV10 and enable LIGHT/CONTROL forwarding through that converter.

BTW, I had to disconnect the BV10 ML cable from the ML system in the setup that I described. The converter connected to the BV10 then had a ML cable going directly from the converter to the BV10 -- essentially creating it's own ML system that was separate from the ML using the BLGW. All LIGHT/CONTROL to the BLGW went through that converter -- which was recognized by the BLGW via NL.

Hi,

Does anyone have the new or newer firmware file?

I am stuck on firmware 1.1.0 and onlineupdate doesn´t seem to work from this older version.

Thanks in advance.

Updated new firmware yesterday. All went well. The Philips Hue driver update did fix an issue where an Innr light could not be addressed directly via the BLGW. So worth the update. Not much else to report.

How can you  update to 1.5.4.533 ? Mine has 1.5.4.491. When I go to the menu Tools/firmware and type "check for latest version", it says "1.5.4.533 is the latest version". typing "start online update" says "checking" and "preparing to download the latest version" (for 1 second, and than nothing happens ...  Tried tor restart etc, but no change in firmware version. I could do it manually, but then I need to know where to download the file...
