I have installed the update and have the App

Looks good.

Phillips Hue is no longer reported as "RED" and you can import scenes from it which is perfect.

Hi,

There is a bug in the new Updated Beolink App for Iphone. The MOTS botton dont work when you use beosound 5. I have reported this to B&O. I hope someone others at this site also can report this so they make a fix for this bug.

Will it now be possible to get two-way control of the Moment from the Beolink app together with blgw? It says something about multiroom music in the app update notes.... I only have a MLGW so I cant try. But if this now is possible then I will change to an BLGW since it also could make timer events.

Sure

You can see all of the files you have.

And search deezer.

I think it's exactly what you're talking about.

Can you browse music (deezer) on an Essence mkii also or does it needs to be a moment?

You can see the ML products with Beolink App

You'll need the ml/nl to control of course.

Essence allows the browsing too.

Let me know if any more blgw questions.

One of the under marketed products in the portfolio IMO.

I love my Beolink Gateway

It's not used for much today's just to control a Phillips hue light when my moment receives commands from the essence remote

Next step is to add a global cache contact closure widget to control my curtain track via the gateway

After that the possibilities are endless really.

I would like to buy some good quality lighting controls that it can interface with but I'm not quite there yet I'm know how lutron works or how much the stuff costs

Lutron is what I chose.

Radiora2. It is expensive but if you like an automated home the possibilities are endless.

Don't forget to add an Amazon Alexa. Gives you voice control of the blgw.

I've asked that question of BeoCare.

I hope that too. Together with the timer event that feature should be really nice. Fore example play playlist "good Morning" in the mornings in bedroom 1 and 2 or play playlist "welcome home" in the whole house when you arrive to the home. I really hope that BO will make this thing to work.

I use Lutron RadioRa 2 and absolutely love it. You need the main repeater as the "hub" and then just get the wall keypads to replace your existing light switch. Note that you need the keypads labeled as "hybrid" in order to control a connected light load. The keypads marked merely as "wall" do not control a connected light load. However, the "wall" keypads are great for replacing switches that have Philips Hue lights controlled by that switch. You just "hardwire" the load of the Hue light so that it bypasses the dimmer and is always powered on. Then, you have buttons that you can use to control anything through your BLGW -- not just Lutron functions but also Hue, B&O, and even your custom shades. You can often find the Lutron keypads and main repeater on eBay for half the price that you might pay to a dealer. You do need the windows software to program everything. Like the configuration software for the Beo6, this is not made readily available to the end user. You need to have connections and know someone to get the software. *wink*

I'm really surprised that playlists cannot be triggered for the Moment. I can do this easily with the BeoSound 5. With the BeoSound 5, it's easy to trigger N.Music playlists as well as favorite N.Radio stations and even Spotify playlists.

Hello all

Today I deleted the moment from my BLGW and added it again as when I selected music it said no product available.

Now I can browse my music in multiple sources on the Beolink app.

Such a great improvement and also much quicker than the Beomusic App.

Over the moon with the update.

I ordered a Global Cache device to control my curtain track and the next step is Lutron for lights at home.

Every time they update this device it just gets better and better

Seanie, are you also able to browse the Sources on the Moment from ML-rooms?How do you map the Moment sources on ML-products? Today I start the source on the moment with Beomusic app and then I change to Beolink app and start for example CD who is mapped to Music via BLC to Moment...

Hi there

Interesting question so I gave it a go.

I have selected Zone Master Bedroom and Music as the source.

I can browse the Deezer music and play in my bedroom on my V1

I have a BV7 with ML thats connected to the BLGW but i dont bother to share the audio sources with it as its almost in the same room as the Moment.

Thanks Seanie. I wunder if it will be possible to browse Moment music/Deezer also if the room product is ML based like a BV7. Maybe someone else here has tried that?

This is crazy if available on previous products. Having home automation play EXACTLY the music or station you want is surely quite a big deal!

I believ you can start a music station.

But not a 'color' on the Moodwheel.

I don't use playlists as I prefer the randomness of the color wheel. You're not able to select a color... As there are too many I suspect.

So it should be possible to pre-select a TuneIn station to play when woken by the BLGW?

It would be good to be able to select an area of the mood wheel though hey!

It seems that the inability to pull up a specific playlist or radio station on the Moment is a shortcoming of the Moment and not the BLGW. With the BeoSound 5, you can use the Beo4 to pull up specific favorite playlists or songs by using the color or numeric buttons of the Beo4 as the favorites are assigned to specific color or numeric buttons on the BeoSound 5. I can't find similar control in the manual of the Moment. Any commands you can make with the Beo4 can be built into macros on the BLGW.

Correct.

I think this is a 'Moment' issue.

Not blgw. The commands on the blgw are tremendously more numerous than the mlgw.

Hello,

 

Like the new update and app. Only see in the above picture, that at Deezer, also deezer radios and My favorite deezer Music (with sub categorys) are listed. In my app this is not the case. Only see Deezer Music with albums, Tracks and Artists. I am using the BLGW together with a Moment and a V1. Do I need to activate this somewhere?

Hi,

Since the latest BeoLink app update I'm unable to switch between the sources of the Atlona matrix. I have 4 sources (AppleTV, Media Player and two sat decoders). When I select each of them via the app, it only opens the AppleTV. The other commands of the BeoLink app seem to work fine. I use the MLGW, which has not been updated since Oct. 2014.

Does anyone have an idea what's wrong?

Unfortunately there are more bugs in the update.

As said before HOLD/RELEASE functions don't work, and Martin noticed that the MOTS button won't work.
