Hi

Can a Beoremote One BT be paired with Beosound Essence MK2? I have tried without success.

And yes I know I can use it without bluetooth with an IR eye which I do at the moment.

I just tried it, and it works fine. Make sure your Essence MK2 is updated (new sw today).

With the latest software - of today - all ‘connected devices’ can be paired with a BROne/bt.

I was able to successfully pair the Beoremote One, but I couldn’t pair the remote with my Essence. The Essence is currently controlled through an IR eye. Maybe that is why I couldn’t pair the Essence?

It can do both simultaneous. Try a reboot.

Just to clarify, does this include the A6?

Yes. I could pair my remote with an A6; but am still struggling on pairing with an Essence

I was able to pair with my BS1 and A6 effortlessly. I see that it keeps multiple added products in its list of products. However, it only remains paired with the last product paired. It can't retain the pairing with multiple products.

You CAN however keep multiple remotes paired with a device. For example, keep a BeoRemote One and an Essence remote both paired to an A6.

Problem solved! The batteries of the remote were almost dead, so opening the remote for Bluetooth pairing did not send any BT signal. Changing to new batteries solved everything! 😁

I am very happy that I can now use a single B&O remote for all my devices! I have been waiting for this for a long time! These are the ‘little things’ that me happy as a B&O customer.

One strange thing I noticed. The remote nicely shows all sources available, except for Spotify. Is this a bug, or is there a good reason why it is not shown as a source on the remote?

Furthermore, all sources of the Beovision are shown, even the sources which are not in use. I would have preferred to only see the ‘active’ sources of my V1

After the software on the Essence was updated the paring of the Beoremote One worked fine! 

This is great. Now I can see the TuneIn stations on the Beoremote One.

But this new setup also raise some questions?

  1. Is the a limit to how many TuneIn stations from the favorite list that can be shown on the Beoremote One? Not all of mine is shown.
  2. How do I  remove source for the source list? I want for instance to remove QPlay form the source on the Beoremote One. I have configured the local source list for the Essence in the Bang&Olufsen app.
  3. Do Essence not support to configure the 4 configurable my buttons on the Beoremote One? I can find it in app, but it is empty cannot be edited.
