Baubas Cat Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Just used my NEEO for the first time in a couple of days and noticed Comfort had been added to the Home screen. Is there anywhere to see the NEEO firmware revisions and what has been added? Now that Comfort has been added hopefully they will add Security soon. I know not Cameras but at least Relays.

South Africa C4 user Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Interesting... it appears that software updates are being pushed to the Neeo remotes independently of updating the OS. While this is really cool and hopefully will result in more frequent updates, it would also be nice to know what is changing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msgreenf Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 The remote driver has its own auto update. Control4 recommends docking remote overnight to ensure updates apply and don't kill battery Neo1738 and South Africa C4 user 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the remote is in the dock, it will take the firmware update. RyanE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brownbatsbreath Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 The hell being in the UK have to do with using the back button? I use the back button all the time and I celebrate Thanksgiving and the 4th of July. msgreenf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILoveC4 Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 It’s missing the “Cancel” button for me as a hard button, which is a major miss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyknight Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Yep, it actually has a back button, but in a lot of cases you'd want 'cancel; and 'back/previous' for cable/sat boxes. Sometimes 'back' is used for cancel, others for previous - it'll depend on the driver, but without both.... I'm just not impresse3d by the device. It works well, and I can see the use if you're a cable-cutter (as in completely, including not using things like Sling TV where you'd still have the same issue) and only use Netflix/Amazon/Disney+/Vudu/HBO/Crave/Hulu/Google/MLB/ESPN/[fill in your additional poison] (how's that total bill looking by the way ) where you mostly just use the D-Pad anyway but to me, and most people we've demo'd it for so far, there just not enough buttons. Funny how no-one ever mentioned that removing all or most of the buttons wouldn't be the greatest idea Add the still missing features -and no matter that they may be added, until it exists we have no idea what will be the 'final' product- and it is a fancy remote, that looks good, seems to work great as far as the features it has are concerned, that seems to slip out of my hands a lot (my kids aren't going to get their hands on it) eggzlot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at security now, and imagine that same screen on the Neeoo....I foresee a lot of false panic button presses. So that would need to get it's own design. Cameras I'm not even sure if that's possible to begin with (don't know enough of the underlying operating system to judge either way) Custom buttons are there already...but no way to name them to what they do. Again I doubt the existing method would work with the Neeoo Screen, so you're looking at yet another set of custom buttons to program. I'm trying to give the new remote some love, but it's not been made easy for me.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pretty sure you can name each of the Custom Buttons, if you are talking about the 5 custom ones you can create specifically for the remote. (swipe right from the home screen).

LollerAgent Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Silly question: I use Roku with the mini-app drivers to launch sources like Hulu/Netflix/etc. When I select Netflix, for example, the "current source" section of the Neeo just displays a picture of a Roku and not the actual Netflix icon. Is it possible to display the Netflix/Hulu/etc icons instead.. or is this just just "how it is" with Roku? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msgreenf Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Yes. There is an option in the Roku driver for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neo1738 Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Would be nice when "watching" to have extra buttons like back/cancel, dvr, tivo whatever show up on the screen and you swipe out of that to get to menus again. Basically once in watch depending on source it would populate more buttons for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
