Love the idea of a docking station and adding a back light, I don't know how many times I've looked for my glasses, to try and find pause etc. :)

Same here… judt ordered a pair of Pale Blue batteries (new technology of rechargeable batteries) that can be charged directly via usb-c… I‘ll let you know as soon as I tested them for a few weeks/months… :). Recharging takes just an hour, btw.

Someone asked in another/a subthread this:
“Would like to understand more how home integration is a part of Theatre. Sound great. Could you share some more details on how that is achieved?”.

Any Theatre user who has experience with this or any comments there?
Would be interesting to have these in this main Theatre thread.

I dont know. But I have always assumed that the Theatre has zero integration outside of the usual loudspeaker/remote and (almost) headphones.

The BR1 has the placeholders it seems to do more integration but there appears to be very little if any in the BeoApp? I was always under the impression that Khino (£750) and the Pro licence (programming - £650) were what you had to do (BL Gateway now EoL?) to enable other non-B&O home automation.

The Theatre has I am told the latest wheeze - "Matter", but just like Atmos, it doesn't seem to support any specific B&O equipment to really build a system with?

someone on Discord who has a HomeAssistant setup at home, with something acting as a HA hub, has found some of his integrations / control appearing on his Theatre BR1 - I think his BR1 can control some of his Hue lights etc.

And I dont believe he has has a BLI as part of his setup.

 
The LG TV actually has its own impressive integrated control of devices in your home. Its "home dashboard" can give you control of Hue lights, Ikea lights, washer, dryer, etc. It would seem conceivable that the Beoremote One could at the very least bring up the home dashboard screen.
Actually, the Home Dashboard can be pulled up with just three clicks of the Beoremote One: Menu (the house icon), Down, Enter.
Ok so I got the BR1 remote when I got the Theatre end of Oct.  I find it to be a terrible remote so I never use it. Maybe once a week to change the volume at best. The battery ran out today at 3 months.  The fact that we are in 2023 and this thing isn't rechargeable or have motion detection so it always lights up the screen AND keys is crazy. Well... off to find that tiny tool so I can take the remote apart into 5 pieces to change a battery...
