Amazon had available one of the first device and immediately delivered exemplary!
Packaging was adequate without annoying Plastikverschweißung and the product / the environment.
Quick Guide:
In three languages (D, E, F) the integration of WiFi Bridge includes the home network directly
via WPS or via LAN cable to the computer via the web interface of the Nevo Bridge. This manual is understandable and easy to follow. Thus, it could be found on the app on the iPad also sought right after the bridge and immediately.
Installation of equipment:
1. Older Samsung LCD TV LE40F8
First tests of power, channel change, etc. without success, then successfully integrated after specifying the original FB
2. Panasonic DMR BST820 (satellite tuner and BD Player / Recorder) could be easily detected and integrated by functional testing
3. Denon AVR 4306 also quickly and successfully
4. Denon DVD 3910 was first unsuccessfully, as specified by the device but possible
5. Kathrein Cable box UFC 960 was a bad Gefrickel. After tens of runs with testing of various power, or channel change code it but then folded. However, the device was incorrectly identified as satellite box.
Creating Short-Cuts (macros): You can define a total of 3 macros, see eg TV,
Film look (DVD / BD) and games
The macro is recorded by the device I anschalte with the app in the desired order, the video input select, etc.
Check for TV worked flawlessly, although I can not embed the HDMI switch from Ligawo because these manufacturers is not yet in the database (although now widespread)
Setting Program Guide:
After selecting the provider, and the satellite position the available channels are displayed, you can then show or hide, and sort. In addition, favorite stations can be defined so that can then be displayed according to the criteria ALL, HD channels, favorite stations. The transmitter can then be switched directly from the list on the program icons, or out of the information about the current program. Finally, the appropriate device must be assigned to, so Cable or satellite tuner, can not have both.
That worked well for the cable box with cable-BW but not for satellite reception. Although the FB works for the satellite tuner, the channel change on the program guide was not possible. I guess that the transponder information between tuner and NEVO-Bridge not match.
Support and manuals:
There for me only one conclusion: catastrophic !!!
Neither on the international nor on the German side, the device is to be found.
So I can not go on the search for missing IR codes or even find a manual, in any language, as a complement to the sparse Quick Start Guide.
I could send an email to the German Support (are on the side nor named Tel.Nr. mail address) only reason to get rid of because I have entered the product ID of another All for One.
PRO:
Small, unobtrusive device with sufficient range and easier integration into the network,
unfortunately only partly fast and easy integration of devices. Macro function fine.
User interface of the app is logically the most important commands are available, the exchange between the devices is possible in an acceptable pace.
CONTRA:
Missing Manual, missing IR codes that can not be found due to the lack of support for the device in the online database. The bridge can obviously not learn commands.
CONCLUSION:
A bad start for a device with Vorschusslob and hope for the ultimate solution of the jumble of remotes. It seems to me, the early adopter is again the loser, because a device is put on the market without first of support has been set up accordingly.
Other devices, such as projectors and Media Server I have only not set times and can only hope that Universal Electronics for lost opportunity as quickly as to make no damp squib of a great idea.
Incidentally, these are my first subjective impressions. Another user may have more luck, because it has the right devices, all of which are available in the database and therefore requires neither manual nor support.
More than three stars are provisionally any case not in it!
Update now after three weeks with the NEVO:
1. Kathrein UFC 960: Meanwhile, let all the functions of the original FB depict, suddenly nothing works, not even power on / off.
2. Denon AVR 4306: Basic functions OK but inputs can not be carried off, only some, not all, put on the NUM LOCK key.
Luckily, there are a viable app by Denon, but is more cumbersome than expected
3. Beamer Panasonic PA AE 700E: but basic functions ok, stored preferences can not be retrieved
4. Apple TV: integration easy functionality: 100%. Even the device icon fits.
5. EPG on satellite tuner (Panasonic DMR BST820) works very well now. However, this requires that the channel assignment of the tuner identical to the allocations in the TV Guide
Device. Unfortunately, the transmitter can not sort by the assignment.
6. HDMI switch: inputs can be selected directly, but not off. It's OK
7. IR socket of Revoltec: worked since fortunately the Revoltec is adaptive and thus almost any code can be used.
8. Functionality of FB depicted in NEVO is part very well partly improved, many functions offered do not fit the device or can trigger a command
was not wanted, so I had to look in the Denon AVR 4306 Handbook, why suddenly the screen was dark and was no more sound output.
9. Device Icons poor: The projector has to be presented as a TV.
10.Kundendienst: very good on Amazon, thanks to Justin! - But on the German manufacturers / sales page a joke !! After three weeks, only the quick instructions in different
Languages that anyway with the product. No manual, not even the couple of UK FAQs page translates that are there for 3 weeks. Still no way the code
to look at certain FBs on the supposedly world's largest database itself.
Interim balance: It remains at three points, although the NEVO is the best solution found for me because of the expense for the customer by the total of sub-optimal support is very high.
Although the part has potential, but it has the unripe banana at the end customer as well. I hope after maturing in any case be able to award the fourth point.
