New Halo firmware at last…. Version 1.5.930
30 replies
Released yesterday! Gonna dust of my Halo again and hopefully more stable now. Was using bulletproof Essence remotes the last weeks because I got rather tired of the instable Halo wifi connection.
release notes from B&O support site:
Software 1.5.930 - Release date 19th April 2022
Features:
- Adds support for Beolab 90 and Beolab 50. You can now control your speakers using Beoremote Halo.
- Source list is now split up into Audio and Video sources.
- Increased stability
Thanks!
Would be nice to see the Halo in action with the 90/50’s - to see which benefits that would bringin real life.

I think it’s a phased rollout, mine doesn’t fetch the new firmware yet…
Interesting.
When using my BL90s in "Audio" mode i.e. attached via XLR to my Auralic system (i.e. not controlled by a Beovision), I use the "BeoEye" IR receiver and an Essence Remote in IR mode. It works but is a little clunky and insensitive to volume control.
It will be interesting to see what the functionality of the Halo will be - whether it just uses IR or is true WiFi/BT control? Perhaps the more important aspect is the control of the BL90 being threshold triggered on/off by the Halo to enable instant switching from the Auralic to Beovision ecosystem?
Further, if the BL90 is getting Wifi/BT control (no sign in the BL90 firmware yet), then does that extend to BR1 being updated?
Interesting
Anyone installed the latest Halo firmware already? Mine doesn’t fetch it, contacted support and they haven’t figured out yet what is happening until now.
Hi!
Has anyone managed to update their beoremote Halo to the latest version: Software 1.5.930 - Release date 19th April 2022 ?
So it seems I’m not the only one unable to get it. Weird. And support doesn’t have a clue either yet, if the reason would be a (regional) phased rollout they probably would have know that?
I got it last night
Now I have received Software 1.5.930 - Release date 19th April 2022 for my Beoremote Halo!
Here in Germany too.
