Beolab 8000 troubleshooting
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jun 12, 2020 22:05One of my Beolab 8000s stopped working. It has the red LED, but won't go green. I took it apart and found the foam had turned to mush. It was bad over what I assume is a thermocouple to measure the heat of the heatsync.C…
Using a raspberry Pi as a DIY equivalent to Logitech Harmony
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jun 12, 2020 19:58I haven't read through the full description of the data link info, but one line said it follows the same structure as the IR codes. To handle something like IR or the databus, you need to be doing real-time processing of…
Beolab 8000 grommet
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jun 1, 2020 04:25One of my beolab 8000’s stopped working, it would just show the red LED. Dismantling it showed that the foam had never been changed and had turned to mush, corroding the contacts for the thyristor checking the temp of th…
Using a raspberry Pi as a DIY equivalent to Logitech Harmony
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · May 6, 2020 21:21[quote user="djmp"] Thanks samsp! I got the buttons and also LED control going. For IR I do notice that I’ll get occasional misreads of the IR remote, incorrect code reported. Maybe that’s to be expected? [/quote] I have…
Using a raspberry Pi as a DIY equivalent to Logitech Harmony
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · May 6, 2020 21:14I'd love a copy of the LED code, I have tried to set the LED state in the past and just seemed to hang the I2C communications. It would be nice to have a flash when a command is received, and also during startup. It is s…
Using a raspberry Pi as a DIY equivalent to Logitech Harmony
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Apr 23, 2020 11:56[quote user="djmp"] Thanks! Should have been more clear in my question though. I have the IR codes via USB and thanks for the remote control mappings. I'm talking about accessing the LEDs and the Timer/Play/Up/Down butto…

B&O integration
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Apr 23, 2020 03:54Late last year I moved back to the Seattle area and bought a new house. As usual the builder did a big fireplace, so if the TV were to be mounted above it, the base would be at 5ft high. So I mounted to the side of the s…

in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Apr 23, 2020 03:35[quote user="djmp"] Thanks to crossbytje I have an Arduino Nano running and reporting back IR codes with GND/5V/IR Signal connected (see https://archivedforum2.beoworld.org/forums/p/16023/138995.aspx for wiring). I have …
Using a raspberry Pi as a DIY equivalent to Logitech Harmony
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Apr 23, 2020 03:12I have the receivers that use I2C (they are labelled with timer, vol, play/stop). You can supposedly use commands with the I2c device, a PCF 8574T, which is a TTL expander, to set pins for input or output. I have only go…
Routing powerlink signal via Cat 6 STP cable?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 3, 2020 20:21Damn, that's a useful guide. I now have that pinned in my bookmarks. Using cat 6/7/8 S/FTP S/UTP makes wiring less propriety for B&O, but its still a step up from what builders will usually spec - they tend to go for cat…
Routing powerlink signal via Cat 6 STP cable?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 2, 2020 20:17I just bought a new house and want to run a cable for a pair of beolab 6000's as rears. I have a cat6 STP cable, so its shielded, I plan to use for the run, together with some shielded couplers and then a custom patch ca…
Using a raspberry Pi as a DIY equivalent to Logitech Harmony
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Nov 25, 2019 21:40Did the files that crossbyte sent help. The essence of the solution is to use a raspberry pi (rpi) with openhab as the brains of the system. Openhab is a framework for writing home automation systems. you define a set of…

in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 10, 2019 06:49Similar question - I have a pioneer 7.1 receiver and klipsh sub. I have 5 beolab 6000's connected via RCA and a custom 8 pin din to force the speakers on while in use - so that they don't keep toggling on/off based on th…

Using a raspberry Pi as a DIY equivalent to Logitech Harmony
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Aug 18, 2019 20:08My newest discovery is the Lutron Binding in openhab. In conjunction with the Caseta Pro hub (needs to be the Pro version), it enables control of Caseta, RA2 etc devices, but also listening to Pico remotes. Pico remotes …
Using a raspberry Pi as a DIY equivalent to Logitech Harmony
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Aug 18, 2019 19:50[quote user="crossbytje"] It was a bit of searching and getting into details setting up the IR receiver part, but using Sam's help and code, it all came together. Once the openhab server can receive commands, it's all a …

in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Aug 18, 2019 19:37[quote user="crossbytje"] In the meanwhile I have acquired a BeoRemote One BT and an IR eye, still awaiting my arduino hardware to hook everything up. I wondered, in your setup, the specs of the AV Receiver are not too i…
Using a raspberry Pi as a DIY equivalent to Logitech Harmony
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Aug 18, 2019 18:58[quote user="crossbytje"] So far, I'm still using my old receiver/amp, which is too old to control with anything else than its own IR remote. The same holds for my TV. So I'm still bound to their remotes, but I'll have t…
