If I had a way to reproduce it at any given time, I would have made a bug report already But sometimes when I launch the app, it detects my Devialet without any problems, it allows me to click on it to start it, but it does not start and after a timeout it just shows me the same screen as when starting the app.

I have done some analysis of the network protocol used to control Devialet over the network ( in order to create a desktop app to start my unit and change inputs etc. ) but I have not yet caught a message that would attempt to start the unit but doesn't.

We use a technical room to store the A/V equipment to solve some problems with background noise. Unfortunately the wireless signal between remote and Devialet cannot be established.

Devialet is kind enough to provide an RS-232 interface to custom installers. Since he 7.x and iOS client update, we can send a wake up signal to the Devialet which solved the functionality problem we had.

It is still a pity we cannot use the remote however. A remote with a build in screen (in the middle of the ring) and a signal that can be transported over an 'open' technology like zigby, enocean etc, would be nice.

Back at the beginning, way before there was a phone app I discussed the idea of a remote with screen in it with Devialet. The problem would be battery life, apparently, and would require a very major redesign. The phone app does look good but I much prefer the actual rotary control on the remote.
Sadly it is not very convenient to mount my amps vertically due to windows and radiators being where they would ideally be. I want to see the screen.

For my part, I would be happy to load the remote every day.

Regarding the display on the remote they could use an e-ink display to reduce the battery drain. It wouldn't need to refresh all that often. The only thing I could see being a problem are the level meters they added recently.

I hope that they add a tablet app with more control than the current ios app. It would be great to change the loading on a cartridge without having to use the configurator and SD card. Seeing all the information on the display in the app would be great too.

While I making a list I guess I'll list all my wishes. DSD support (not sure how that will work with SAM though); DLNA support with a tablet app similar to the Lumin player app, and including more control of the devialet functions; and have the devialet appear as an airplay device so we could stream from ios apps to the devialet.
