Beoremote Halo: Realiability in “tougher” areas like bathroom and kitchen?

[T.W.G]

Hi,

in the beautiful Beoliving installation in Struer B&O has a Halo remote installed in a bathroom among other things. But: Do you have any real world experience with the Halo remote in “tougher” areas like the kitchen and bathroom?
How reliable is the Halo living in a Bathroom with daily fog due to teenagers that need to learn showering can be done in less than 90 minutes? 🙂
Or in a kitchen where a Halo needs to withstand more than fog or a little humidity?

Can the Halo handle it in the long term?

I have a Halo in my bathroom, kitchen and indoor/outdoor garage. I’ve had them since they launched more or less and all of them are still humming along just fine. I did keep the plastic over the glass to help with protection against dust and dirty fingers.

Thank you, that sounds reassuring. 🙂

And does the Halo in the bathroom get a lot of humidity or fog from showering and still works flawlessly or is everything relatively dry?

More long term experiences from other members here, too?

Since the introduction of the Beoremote Halo, I have one installed in the kitchen. And since then it works fine.

Instead of installing Halo’s in seperated upstair rooms, I did setup a wallmouted Halo in our landing. So it can be used for al the upstairs devices and lights.

Hi,

What kind of lights do you use, and how did you connect them to the Halo for control?

Kind regards,

Yann.

Hi Yann,

Since the introduction of Philips Hue I started to use Hue. Now years later about 90% of the lights around my house are from Hue!

Note: I also use Beoliving. Then one can gear up to the next level due to programming the functions of the Halo’s buttons.

 

I can sell you a Hue hub for a soft price (2 available) 🙂

regards

Thank you for the insight.

Carolpa,

Thanks for the information and offer.

I also have hue lights and a bridge, controlled through Home Assistant and Apple Home.

Have a nice week-end.

Yann.
