It does find my BeoVision 14. But changing the volume does not work. So I guess it only works for the BeoPlay range of devices.

Karel.

Beosound Moment: volume, next, back, pause works, sources (including join) not (grayed out).

Beovision 11: no response

Beovision Horizon: no response

Beolink NL/ML converter: does not work (at least in my setup) 

Beosound Essence mkII: volume, next, back, pause, sources works

Beosound Shape ( & Beosound Core): volume, next, back, pause, sources works

Beoplay A6: volume, next, back, pause, sources works

Beoplay M3: volume, next, back, pause, sources works

Beosound 35: volume, next, back, pause, sources works

Beovision Harmony: volume, next, back, pause, sources works

Edit: ones a device is chosen with greyed out sources (such as the Moment), the sources for ALL devices are grayed out and stay so. The app must be restarted to get sources again.

If you didn't notice it already, controlling a Moment with the app triggers high CPU usage on the Mac and the app must closed to recover. At least this is what happens for me with the latest iteration of the code (not the one in the current DMG)

Very nice tool. Thanks for that Thomas!


Can you program this for PCs, too?

Carolpa and mbolo01 thanks for the feedback! I have checked in a small update that may prevent the bug triggered by connecting to the Moment. Tracking the issue in

TWG, you are welcome - happy to receive feedback from you. I believe I could make a similar tool for Windows and other platforms but I am afraid it is unlikely to happen pro bono.

best regards,

How much would it cost?  I'd be very willing to chip in $250 if others are interested and willing to contribute.

FYI: The latest version of the code can now properly control the BS Moment, including sources and TuneIn stations ! Better than the Halo can do :-)

I noticed yesterday but didn't find the time to 👍, in my setup only the BV11 and the BLC can't be controlled (but the shared sources of a ML product with a NL product, f.e. a Essence mkII do work)

 

I'm curious what the obstacle is that prevents control of BeoVisions/BeoSystem 4 and Nl/ML Converters -- since the Halo cannot control these either.

"Program Killer"; just setup my new Mac Mini with Apple's M1 processor.

Now the B&o app and the Beoliving app can be run on the Mac itself 😁
