Hi beojeff,
Will do and I'll ask Willie in advance so he can pull it up. I think we've shown some of his before as he goes nuts with it :p If you have any specifics, let me know, or come into the chat if you spot something you fancy :) Willie and I, because of time difference, can stay live for longer as I don't have much to do Monday morning :p
I am pretty sure Willie has a Macro for every thing except his coffee machine lol

I recall that Willis does indeed even have the BLGW control his Miele coffee machine! Yet, Willie (colorful as always) remarked that it first spews out "toilet water" before pouring out the coffee. lol. This was very useful to hear since I was considering adding a Miele machine myself.
Did we get to what you wanted to see? There was a ton of stuff macro'd :p
let me or Willie know :)

That was fantastic. Thanks. Well done, guys!
BTW, Willie might like to take a look at creating "scenes" for Hue lights to simply macros. There's a great tutorial of the API on the Hue site. You can also create "groups" of lights to be effected by macros. For example, I have a CINEMA group of lights that are acted upon when using the projector and screen. However, his tub-filling macro is more elaborate and I'm sure needs more specific control - as he has done!
Mikipidia:Yes, Willie is a bit of a wizard. So iam not sure it’s wizars Willie or Willie wizard Iam sure at some point if you’d like even more detail we could do that, but we’ll most likely make it a thing of it’s own as it’s fairly specialised. Glad you liked it Michael

Of course. I wasn't suggesting more for the podcasts. I was just passing along to Willie a great resource he might enjoy for getting even deeper into the control of Hue bulbs. There are many amazing things you can do in the API that are not in the Hue app. Henrik and I wrote some great custom strings together.
One question to ask - or rather to debate - might be: how many BV owners use a fully fletched multi channel setup.
Or: are people content using the (excellent) speakers of the BeoVision itself.
Have things changed - especially now after the builtin speaker of the Avant and the Eclipse are so good?
(Hidden part of that question is: Could a 2.0/3.0 channel soundbar from B&O be all, that B&O lovers would need for their next - non-B&O - tv?)
MM
There is a tv - and there is a BV
Re:MM: My guess would be less than half of main room BeoVisions have a full surround setup. If you include all bedroom/kitchen BV's the number may even be less than a third.
My own question for you guys would regarding using a BeoPlay V1 as wake up timer. Integrate an Essence Mk2/Core, use a BeoTime, find a super rare BLGW or take a plunge with the new BLI? Or is there another way that I didn't think of?
Hi
Just a suggestion, I know that you are publishing your podcast on YouTube. Nevertheless, could you publish audio podcast on iTunes, Spotify, overcast or something else. The reason is that I, and probably a lot of other people, list to podcasts in the car or just in the background, and with YouTube you have to stream the video and that is a bandwidth issue over 4G.
Thanks for your great work with the podcast :-)

@Miki
in the podcast on Sunday, you and Willie seemed to wonder who (the h*ck) Pedrosbeli is....and if he is fulltime with B&O.
Actually he is (and has been for some time now) the:
Director, Product Management. Head of Staged & Flexible Categories at Bang & Olufsen
Which means that he is one of the main employed persons at Bang & Olufsen....
....and one of the masterminds in Struer.
Also see this thread:

By the way - Miki - you are a cat lover.
My forumname (Millemissen) is actually taken from a cat we had some years ago....’mis’ means ‘kitty’ ‘’- mille’ was just added because it sounded good.

Mikipidia: Hi MM, Do you still have cats? Michael
Hi MM,
Do you still have cats?
No, not anymore - but a dog.....a naughty young b*tch
HAHA nice MM, hope she doesn't cause you too much trouble? Seems like she's angry at left over fireworks from the new year :p
We'll be live in about 30 mins :D
Hi guys,
I've been looking in to make the podcast available in audio form only as a few of you have requested it. How ever I have a question for you guys, what services do you use? Is it predominantly Itunes or are there other services you like to use?
Thanks in advance for helping me help you guys out :D
HI
I'm using Itunes, but I can use whatever service you can best use :-)
Thanks
Hi Robin,
Thanks, I haven't seen it yet! been super busy tearing a 40 year old kitchen out of my new place :p and i'll have to do the same to the loo and bathroom. So thank you very much, as I've been a bit out of the loop.
Also Hi Allan,
Sorry for the late reply, been a bit busy and apparently I missed it. I think i'll have a solution soon, so bear with me. When i get it all set up I'll upload everything as I have the entire back catalogue since we started locally on my pc :D
Thanks for the reply, I'll most likely have it up on soundcloud and itunes soon(ish) :p
nearly live, 5 min :D
Great, i'm looking forward to listening :-)
How about inviting Kiran/My B&O Home thread to one of your ‘shows’?
Sure he and Willie could have fun chatting about home automation - and you could get some tips about house renovation from him...
..while waiting for news from B&O.
OK - missed that!
Regards

Presumably when it comes to bathroom advice, you're talking to your resident bathroom expert podcasting partner?
He'd be very disappointed if you don't have at least a few bathroom AV scenarios in the works.....
