Have been reading this thread from start to finish over this past week and must admit I'm enitrely lost. Why can't my dealer offer to do all of these brilliant extras for me?

The file on the download does NOT have a virus.

I tried downloading it once again and received the same warning of a trojan... My Avast virus protection alerts me that the software contains the Win32:Spyware-gen trojan. I wonder if this is correct or if Avast is wrongly detecting it (since none of you guys have found the virus)..

Keith Saunders:

Simon,
I have thought of using icons for the Rania and they are also available for download on the Beo5 Information and Resource download page HERE
However, I normally assign the four "scenes" to the hard coloured keys and the UP and DOWN to the hard arrow keys. also the lights OFF to the STOP key as is used with other Lutron products when using a Beo4.
The hard keys can be assigned with the Configuration Tool by your dealer.

Many thanks for the advice and links Keith.

Simon.

Funny enough, I downloaded the same yesterday too.
No problems with the antivirus but I found that you have to a) remove all previous versions of the Beo5Config Tool and b) remove Beofont manually from your fonts folder.

Hmm... I will retry this evening and report my result. Quite strange..

I did not have a problem installing it on Vista, over the previous version.

I do not have a virus checker.

The final problem was that my PC said it did not recognise the Beo5 on the USB bus. However, it downloaded my latest config plus the 1.40 firmware regardless when physically connected.

Peter Pan:

When your updated with "Beo5 will Beo5CTSetup 2.20.exe"
at the same time automatically updated with firmaware 1.40.
.

I tried downloading it yesterday, but my virus scanner alerted me that the file contained a virus (can't remember which exactly). Am I the only one experiencing this? I wonder if my virus scanner is detecting a non-existing virus or if it is indeed infected?

Version 1.1 of the Beo5 3rd Party XML Generator will be available soon which will support ALL firmware versions.

Re: Beo5 - where are we?

What is the status of making a program that supports the new firmware? I know Keith is working on some which i guess will be out soon. Are there any other available?

Thanks for your quick response Keith. Have you thought about using any icons for the Rania as opposed to text labels? I could send you seom if interested.

Simon.

Simon,

You are correct, I have several Rania dimmers in my home which work very well with the Beo5 and it was one of the very first XML templates I produced and you can find it of the Beo5 Information & Resources download page HERE

It allows you to use it with a single unit and it also is setup for two or more units in one zone so you can have 4 scenes. If you press say scene 1 it will make one dimmer go to one preset light level and the other dimmer to a different preset light level at the same time.

You can copy any of the configured buttons for other zones etc.
