Neeo remote

This is true for... well, pretty much everything these days. There are many examples of products/services being retired, always with warning and usually with enough buyout or credit to keep too many people from squawking, but I can't think of any examples of a major device capability just being killed, let alone without notice. Seems to me, Logitech wants to make it clear that any expectation anyone might have that they could compete against Google or Amazon (or even Samsung) is entirely misplaced.

Did you follow what happened when Logitech took the Squeezebox line ... and drove it into the ground? This should be no surprise.

Yeah, that was sad. I liked Squeezebox.... Before Logitech ruined it anyway.

Mike - that'd be brilliant, just installed last night and impressed with it so far but would like it to then link properly through to Hubitat

Only issue I have so far is the Nvidia shield and not got the option to easily go back to the main menu.

Not set up the spotify into sonos yet, that's this afternoons job

I integrated my nvidia using ir, in which case the menu button maps to the main menu.
The sonos integration is flakey at best.

Any thoughts on this? The backers were optimistic about the 1st gen - the new one seems more reasonably priced. I am hoping Ill be able to play around with it over the holidays.

I've just ordered one of these as Christmas present to myself, so that is plus one for HE users with interest in this :grinning:

It's a lot of money, but if I can end up replacing my existing universal remote and my iTach IR interface, while running Zwave commands from it and using it as a Sonos remote, with the future possibility of some sort of HE integration I can justify it (to myself at least!)

How does it work as it stands with regards Zwave and running alongside HE? Does it have to be a secondary controller?

No idea, I have no interest in dealing with another zwave controller, personally I don't see a point to it.

I have a bit on one from eBay. $240, much better than $370.

I'm in the UK, and haven't seen any on eBay over here. Also they are doing a 30 day trial with money back if not happy, which with these types of things is quite useful. So I can see how it works with all my gear, and if it doesn't work, send it back.

Oh they do appear on eBay UK. I bought mine from there. The installed base is mainly W Europe. But some are horrendously expensive and some nicely priced , maybe under £200. Make sure they include the hub.

I have one of these, feel free to message me if you want more info. It doesn't integrate with Hubitat, so I don't want to pollute this thread with more off topic stuff.

TL;DR version is that I love it.

Basic Neeo activity driver, likely out in 2.0.3

5 Likes

wow... that was unexpected ... nice.

My Neeo is going to be here on Monday :grinning:

I've already created a virtual device using the new Neeo driver in readiness but I'm just wondering what will the driver enable me to do?

Can I trigger a Neeo activity (or recipe I think they call it) from HE, and have HE rules triggered based on an recipe happening in the Neeo?

Yes
After you have your activities configured on your Neeo, enter the neeo ip address in the driver, select create child activity devices in the preferences, after this the driver will create a switch for each of your activities.
You can then use these in rules.

Awesome Mike - can't wait to get a minute to try these out.

Does it work the other way? Ie allow me (or more accurately the Mrs) to use the remote to trigger a Rule Machine?

Activities (recipes) on the remote can be turned into switches in the driver and used like any other switch.
Starting or stopping recipe xyz on the neeo will turn switch xyz on or off, also turning switch xyz on or off turns recipe xyz on or off.

I'm really looking forward to getting mine now. As my TV Remote is always close at hand, it makes perfect sense to use it to trigger some HE commands too.

Well now I sort of have to order one.. or at least that's what I'm going to tell the wife.
