Hypex Fusion Remote Kit and LED Display - how do they look?

I could not find any pictures or videos of how these two look installed in DIY systems.

Trying to get a feel of how the light pipes and the display look. The official images do not show them installed and the lighting is not what it will be in use. Will they look plasticky/cheap or will they look good/cool?

Did anyone have them installed and can share some real pics?

Here!

What is cool is that even on a slave you see the system audio and the input for the preset selected.

Hi everyone,

Newbie here 😊
I'm currently building a custom setup. I already have the Hypex amps and speakers — what's still missing is the enclosure.
I also plan to use the Hypex OLED display, though possibly in a slightly different way than intended.

Project Goals​

I’d like to mount the display in a small 3D-printed case, along with:
  • a digital volume encoder
  • a source selection button
  • a power on/off button
  • and a different remote control (I’m not a fan of the original Hypex remote style)

Current Progress​

  • ESP8285-based IR send/receive board is up and running
  • I’m using the last-gen full aluminum Apple TV remote (the one that only uses IR)
  • RJ45 sockets and flexible, slim RJ45 cables are ready
  • I’ve already written some code that translates Apple Remote commands into Hypex-compatible IR signals
The IR board successfully receives and sends signals. Real-life testing is still pending, since I don’t have the Hypex display yet. Some fine-tuning may still be needed.
Since the Apple Remote has fewer buttons than the Hypex remote, I’m using smart remapping. For example:
  • Short press cycles through presets
  • Long press (>0.5s) triggers mute (instead of power off)

To-Do List​

  • Find a nice 3D-printable housing (e.g. on Thingiverse) and adapt it to fit the Hypex display
  • Buy a high-quality rotary encoder with push-button function for power control
  • Integrate the encoder into the ESP and send IR commands accordingly

(Optional / Ideas)​

  • Long-press on a specific button starts Wi-Fi + opens a firmware update page (via captive portal)
  • Add LED lighting around the volume encoder with PWM dimming
  • Open to your ideas!
  • Maybe (big maybe): Once I have the Hypex display, I’ll sniff the signals with a logic analyzer and eventually build my own version — more functions, custom font, etc. (if time allows)

Timeline​

I aim to complete the project by the end of this year. It’s a side project, and I’ve got quite a few higher-priority tasks going on. But the first steps are in place.

Display-Related Questions​

  • The display seems to revert to the Hypex logo after a while. Is there a way to keep the volume shown continuously?
  • Hypex says the original remote's "OK" button doesn’t have a function — but does it really do nothing? For example, does pressing it briefly show the volume again?

Thanks in advance for any input!
