Bang & Olufsen BeoRemote

Driver: beoremote

Placeholder for control of Bang & Olufsen products through the BeoLink Gateway HTTP API. The device can be created and its full remote-key command set is published, so commands and macros can be authored ahead of time.

The dispatcher is not implemented

This driver's command method has no cases wired to the BeoLink API — every command returns unknown command. Nothing will respond on the hardware. Use another control path for B&O equipment (a shared IR or IP driver on the connected source, for example) until the dispatcher ships.

Prerequisites

• A BeoLink Gateway or compatible BeoRemote endpoint reachable on the LAN from the GEM server.

Setup

1. Open Devices (System → Devices), choose Add Device, and pick the driver beoremote.
2. Set BeoRemote IP to the gateway's LAN address, and leave HTTP Port at 8080 unless the gateway is configured differently.
3. Save. Commands will not function until the driver is completed.

Attributes

ip	yes	—	LAN IP of the BeoLink Gateway or remote.
port	no	8080	HTTP port on the gateway.

Zone addressing is not used by this driver.

Commands

The published command set is the BeoRemote key map, so a macro or remote binding written today will keep its shape once the dispatcher is implemented.

• Power and volume — power_on, power_off, volume (level), volume_up, volume_down, volume_stop, mute_toggle
