Problem: Danish cable provider turn off FM signal and I would like to continue to listen to radio :-)
Simple solution would be to buy an antenna to get FM stations - however, I also enjoy listening to Dab/internet radio, so I need more I guess..
Sonos? I have IHC homeautomation + MLGW but the masterlink does not seem to deliver source commands like Radio, so I dont think its simple to make an integrated setup? unless Beo App is being used as control - a visual button could turn on Beolab 3500/2000/BeolinkActive and request Sonos as source and IHC could trigger sonos station etc, but no BEO4 control by pressing radio - probably possible when pressing eg. light+red?
The expensive and correct? = BLC NL/ML + essence mkII.. Is this correct: NL source (essence) can be mapped as eg. radio, and pressing radio on Beolab2000 will deliver TuneIn radio from essence? and possible to change channels by pressing up/down?
How is Spotify and apple music integrated? like in Sonos or only as airplay?
Will BLC NL/ML enable me to read source in MLGW? (I mean can MLGW learn when a ML device request eg. Radio)
Only one source can be played on Masterlink - any chance MLGW can sniff this source?
Any better ideas for a setup? :-)
I can answer a few of your questions.
1) The BLC + Essence MkII will allow you to press "Radio" and deliver TuneIn to your BL2000 - assuming you don't already have a "Radio" source on your ML (as you would if you have an Audio Master).
2) Spotify is implemented via Spotify connect (same as Sonos, I think), but Airplay is also available.
Can't comment on the MLGW.
