MrAndersen:Hi CB Those events are from the product.

oh I see. Well I have no explanation for that, I agree they should be cleared. Not sure if they are actually cleared by a factory reset

I've made the suggestion a few times that it would be useful to have a "restart" function in the configuration screen for products to do a power cycle. The essence remote pairing is still unstable and often requires a power cycle. This is sometimes inconvenient to manually do this. The BeoSound 1 poses the additional issue that since it has a battery that just unplugging the cord does not provide a power cycle. it is difficult to see which button on the bottom of the BeoSound 1 is the "restart" button. It would be nice to be able to do this from the app.

I think that's a great idea and would be helpful for various issues.
According to mine with the BS2 I gave some additional informations to Beocare today:
Here some news, relating to the Chromecast issue, that might be helpful:
My router had an update tonight, interrupting internet connection for a short time and reconnecting (I got a push mail from the log files) The evening before I have been playing music via Chromecast, no line-in used, and for that I didn't power off the BS2. But this morning the BS2 also was not able to connect with Chromecast! Chromecast didn't show in the app and connecting via Google Home didn't help: no sound played from BS2. Just the same issue like having used line-in before, though it was not activated. Power off and reconnecting - Chromecast works. I was able to reproduce this issue by powering off and reconnecting my router: Chromecast doesn't work for the BS2. This doesn't affect my Beoplay A6! Chromecast always works flawlessly with the A6. So I can only assume this issue being a firmware bug of the BS2 software. And no way for me to solve it without a firmware update coming from B&O. Please note: Because it is so uncomfortable for me powering off and reconnecting my BS2 regularly, the socket is under a bookshelf, I tried to use a Smart Home socket. But I gave it up because the sound of the BS2 got really worse, muddy and terrible. So sadly that's no solution.

jimcaj: Beojeff: The essence remote pairing is still unstable and often requires a power cycle Oh boy, I thought they’d solved the remote problems. I just today thought about trying one.

I still find the connection is sometimes lost with both my BeoSound 1 and my A6 until I do a restart.
How are your recent experiences with the Bang & Olufsen app?

It fulfill my needs very well.
You seem to be on a newer Beta. Any major difference?

Overall, I am quite happy with the app. It has made a tremendous evolution over time, thanks to the B&O team, and a lot of input of the Beta testers!
At present, I don't experience major issues with the app, but I would love to see some functional enhancements. My top 3 are:

No, not that I know of - just got the regular updates (unless they pushed something....to me unknown).
@jans
As for Alarms - I just push/press the (picture of) the active product and get this, from where I can define the alarm/alarms for the device.
MrAndersen:As for the NL/ML converter, it is such a complicated product and we vastly underestimated the development of this feature. We have 3-4 enhancements on our backlog for it.
Has there been any update? Would love to be able to "join" my BV7 (via ML/NL) with music from NL devices.
