    new Beo5 Software

    Hi@ all

    I got told today that a new software is out. So anybody struggling with the old should use the new one as it is not compatible meaning that everything programmed with the old needs programming new if certain features are essential.

    New features are BuschJäger Panel and Lutron integration. Also one shoul be able to create icons and some mistakes are sorted. I do not have it yet but soon I should have a better idea. I does not seem to be major as the BJ panel can be sorted without integration (it least I did it) and the lutron as well as far as I know.

    Anyway I will test it and let everybody now.

    Best regards Oliver

    My dealer advised that the software revision was immediately recalled due to serious bugs and that it will be another 2 weeks before it's re-released.

    Re: new Beo5 Software

    right, as I said I will give some feedback once I have had a look at the new software 1.10:

    Apart from a new Firmware for the Beo 5 and a few additions on the Accessories (e.g. Lutron, BuschJäger, DVD Controler, ACS, Schneider/LK) I canot see any reason for using the new software unless you want to create your own templates for re-use which is only interesting for dealers. Also the USB problem iseems to be sorted.

    For me the Busch Jäger panel data was interesting and so I updated the PC software and the Beo5 and I found that I had sorted the BJ already as the template provided was no big deal. The only important for programing the BJ was to include a delay time of 250.

     If you can work well with current software I would recommend to stay with it as with 1.10 all programming has to be done new!

     Also a general remark. Onceyou start programming the software after incorporating the rooms I strongly suggest to include all channels on TV and  Radio as particular personalisation or renaming of certain commands get lost when this is done later and you have to resatrt to personalise or rename certain commands. Also I found that after incorporatimg the first TV with its channels I had to resatrt for th next TV/room and restart for the radio again as it did not save my alterations without restarting. I am using Vista.

    Best regards Oliver
