Re: Controllable Sonos style iTunes media player

 

The Autonomics MMS-2 or their Apple TV module to control iTunes right from a PC.

Is there a Sonos style player out there that can play iTunes music files
that is RS-232 or IP controllable? All I need is to be able to play
audio files in one zone or area of a building.

Thanks.

CHV-TSTAT with Mini-split HVAC system

 

Have a client with a pool house.
Stage one heating done with radiant from geothermal (same as system in house where we currently use, but has geo cooling, too)
Secondary heating and first stage cooling are spec'd to be controlled by a Mitsubishi MSZ/MUZ (MSZ-FE18NA indoor/MUZ-FE18NA outdoor) single-room mini-split heat pump. The unit has an RF remote and optional wired control, but does not use typical Tstat wiring (relays).
Has anyone dealt with controlling this via a Crestron CHV-TSTAT so that the HVAC can be properly staged and controlled (they currently have compteing heating sources.)

We have the option to replace the system with something if we know it can be easily integrated. Anyone use anything like this (18,000 BTU) and can control from Crestron.
Maybe even something that has another form of interface or com port (RS232/485)

Any help would be appreciated.

Re: iDevice not accepting Crestron Mobile Pro Project

 

Hi,

Yes, and no. I found a work-around, but not the source of the problem, and thus not a full solution.

The ONLY way that I have been able to resolve this problem on this site was as follows:
1. Set up a separate WAP, with nothing connected to it wirelessly, or wired.
2. Take the iDevice off of the home's automation wireless network.
3. If the iDevice had an IP address in the range 192.168.1.xxx (for example), statically set its IP address to another address in another range completely (192.168.5.xxx for example). If I assign it an address in the same range the download still did not work.
4. Connect my laptop to the WAP wirelessly, and assign an IP address to it in the same range as the iDevice.
5. Connect to the iDevice in Toolbox, and download as I am normally supposed to do. This has then worked everytime, as long as the above sequence is followed to a 'T'.
6. Change the iDevice back to the Home Automation Wireless Network (DHCP Enabled), and it connects and can control the system no problem.

For the first 'virgin' download to the iDevice this would be the final step, but if I need to then download a new version of the graphics to the iDevice I then need to do the following steps:
1. Perform steps 1 through 6 listed above.
2. Remove all of the Crestron Systems connection settings from the iDevice in the Crestron Mobile App. Make sure that there are no systems loaded in the menu. Add the connection settings for the Home Automation System to the app.
3. Connect to the newly added system.

If I do not perform steps 2 and 3 above the Crestron Mobile App always connects to the project that was on the iDevice prior to the last download. The iDevice somehow 'remembers' it. I tried closing the app and opening it again. I tried restarting the iDevice. Neither of these two steps forced the CM App to load the new graphics, only starting 'from scratch' would force it to do so. On this site I tried this on an iPod Touch, iPhone 4, and an iPad 2, all requiring the same steps listed above.

As you can see, the above is a very time consuming, and laborious process to follow, so hopefully your site doesn't require all of the steps above, but hopefully some of the above helps you to sort your problem out.

Regards,
Marko

I would just add that you can have a video window in the Crestron Mobile app, but only in the Pro version. This is one of the limitations of the Free version.

SIMPL training skills? Interested in a few days Caribbean?

 

Hi all,

I did the Systembuilder training last year but as we all know that doesn't quite cover the possibilities of all Crestron equipment. I will follow the SIMPL training later this year, but really need a head start for some upcoming projects. Would anyone of you be interested to spend a few days in the Caribbean to do some basic training?
I have an MC3, MLX3 and AV2 available.
I'll cover transportation and stay (swimming pool included). Preferrably in the Miami region due to transportation budget. Please send me an e-mail if you're interested.

That shouldn't be the case. If you watch in debugger, EACH part of the string that matches the parameters you have entered in the SIO will pulse the corresponding output high as the match "passes through". If you have your SIO parameters entered like this:

Then take o1 and o7 (start and stop for stream 1) and run them to an interlock. Take o2 and o8 to another interlock. o3 and 09 to *another* interlock, etc.

You would then have 6 interlocks, each one representing the on/off state of each stream.

I don't know what you have access to but there is a set of modules on Crestron's US site called Siedle DCOEM that really helped me out.

I believe they are originally from Belgium( which is where I got them) before they posted them here. After having gone through everything you probably have, I finally found them and they made allot more sense than the German ones.

Have tried email and phonecalls to Siedle in both denmark and germany for more information but never got any response back.

If you're feeling lucky, you can turn Autosave off but that is at your own peril.
