    Beo6 Wifi with non-B&O equipment : hack or integrated?

    Now that the wifi is activated on the Beo6, I'm wondering if it can be easy to control non-B&O equipment that works with http commands on wifi (Sonos for instance, Freebox in France...), either by doing a fake-Beosound5 file, or directly supported by the Config Tool (I've not already installed the CT5.12)...

    Does anybody have any clue on that? I will try to find a way to control wifi stuff as soon as I go back to the CTool!

    Re: Beo6 Wifi with non-B&O equipment : hack or integrated?

    Ok, I've done a little tour of the Config Tool... Now I can reply to myself :

    The Config Tool has a new BeoSound5 xml file where we can see that there are a lot of non-IR functions...

    BUT the http (or other protocol) commands are hidden in the Beo6 firmware : the XML only tells to launchpre-defined functions embedded in the Beo6.

    That means that for now, I can't imagine any way of using the Beo6 to control non-B&O wifi-controlled products. Sad

     

    Other thing that I've discovered with the new firmware: the navigations through sub-pages are not circular again : if you go to the last page, a touch on the same arrow doesn't brings you to the first page.
