Meridian Unplugged - Powered by MrTechGuy.co.uk Forums Discussion Meridian - Systems New Meridian Control app version, can't connect to 271 anymore

An update on my plight. I found that one of my iPads was set not to accept updates automatically. Although its IOS is version is 18.2 (I accepted that) the M Control App has not been changed. Whoopee, it works perfectly, finding my 271 quickly and reliably and allowing me to control my 271.

In case anyone is wondering why, with an RTI control system talking directly to my 271, I need the M Control app, it is because the RTI wakes up the 271 and my speakers but the long standing flaw in the 271 firmware means the level from standby is 65, despite settings being set so that it should be 87 (which gets sound levels right for the Trinnov). I find the easiest way to get from 65 to 87 is to use the M Control app. My excellent RTI programming person may be able to add a second instruction to the 271, after a suitable delay, to adjust the 271 sound level yet again to 87 (there is one already but perhaps it comes too soon for the 271 after its initial arousal) which would avoid any use of M Control, but that is something to be addressed in the new year. I would like to think that M will fix the app flaw soon, but it is a relief to know that there is a workaround, if you do not always allow updates. Actually, I am normally not an early adopter of app updates so I must be more careful with new kit (it was a recent iPad that I had left on automatic - very foolish).
