Re: system upgrade suggestions
Reg. 1) The X1100ES is a good choice. It?s our first choice for our customer installations as well. There?s a rack mount kit available for it. ? Cheers, Thorsten ? ? ? [Edited Message Follows] I am upgrading a friends whole house audio, video and theater with Crestron as much as possible. With that said, I have not done residential in awhile and not certain of current products. Upgrading wireless network to Ubiquiti Pro.
Here is what I am looking for:
1. Blu-ray player with IP or RS232 control (my thought is Sony UBP-x1100ES, was going to use OPPO but out of business)
2. Equipment rack surge protection (Richard Gray Power, APC, TrippLite etc.)
3. Equipment rack power conditioner
4. Whole House surge protection (I have only used Leviton but thought about Richard Gray Power HouseGuard if still around)
5. Audio Streamer with Pandora, Spotify, etc. Interfaces with Crestron. I am specifying a Swamp24x8 with Swampe-8 for whole house audio.
5. Projector: 4K, compact (bulkhead is 20" deep) IP or RS232 control
6. Doorbell to alert customer on their phones but also interface with Crestron, wireless and solar powered preferred. Front door has CAT5 but side door only 2 wire. (2N, Ring, Doorbird etc.)
Thanks to anyone that provides input and suggestions.

Meraki switch NVX "Compatibility Issues" -- what are they?
OLH 100314 makes a vague reference for Meraki ¡°Compatibility issues with Meraki and DM NVX have been reported. Crestron is working with Cisco to identify and address the issues. We are sorry for any inconveniences this may have caused.¡±
?
Any idea what they are?
?
I turned up an NVX system (351/351Cs, no Director) on Meraki today and had braced for the worst ¨C once we (really, client¡¯s IT dude since the network is OFE and while I speak Cisco IOS I don¡¯t know Meraki¡¯s GUI at all) fixed the usual multicast
issues (don¡¯t flood unknown/unsubscribed multicast, set up an IGMP querier, enable IGMP snooping, make sure fast/immediate leave is enabled) everything seems happy-happy¡ but I¡¯m nervous based on that comment that there¡¯s something lurking in the weeds that
may show up after some period of time or in a particular scenario or¡ that didn¡¯t come up during testing today.
?
(PS. For anyone who hasn¡¯t figured it out looking at Wireshark is a great way to quickly diagnose a multicast flooding issue: If you¡¯re on the same VLAN, start an encoder from a stream and start getting pounded with packets from the encoder¡¯s
multicast IP there¡¯s your smoking gun that at a minimum that¡¯s not configured correctly (in IOS this is the per-port ¡°no ip igmp snooping tcn flood¡± ¨C not sure what it is in Meraki or if other switch platforms share the same default behavior¡but in
the context of NVX it¡¯s Bad)

Re: Issues with Sonos & Crestron
yup, that was the first thing I checked and both program 1 and program 2 have an IP of 127.0.0.2.

Forgive my ignorance here, Im Googling ¡®Compool integration adapter¡¯ and nothing is jumping out at me. ?Pool controllers seem to be my Kryptonite. ?The pool guy onsite is useless and Pentair tech support is telling me ¡®no home automation¡¯. ?The old Compool setup that was previously there had a header right on the board for RS485 I believe and worked pretty well for years.

Ultamation AppleTV MediaRemote Version Connection Issues (after power loss)
I've been having an issue with my Ultamation AppleTV module (version 2.12, the latest) not reconnecting to my AppleTV after everything comes back up after a brief power loss.? My PRO3 and main network switch are on a UPS that can handle somewhat lengthy outages (an hour or 2), but the remote switch my AppleTV connects to and the AppleTV itself are not. The AppleTV boots back up fairly quickly after a power loss, but the switch (a HP ProCurve 24 port switch) takes a minute or so to get back up and running.? Frequently after a short power loss where the remote switch and AppleTV lose power, I have to reboot the PRO3 in order to get control back for the AppleTV.? The Ultamation module has a connection status output, but I don't believe there's a way to tell it to reconnect.
Has anyone else run into this and are there any recommended solutions (other than putting a UPS with unlimited capacity on every device in the house...)?
Thanks, Geoff

Re: Whole House surge and Equipment Power Conditioner
We use WattBox with OVRC built in. ?A nice web interface for checking status, voltage and wattage for each outlet, scheduled reset etc. ?A large variety of configurations, from strips to rack mount, and a perfectly functioning Crestron module ready to go for integration.

Re: Issues with Sonos & Crestron
No IP address entered in SIMPL?

Re: Issues with Sonos & Crestron
Well, it looks like I need to issue an apology.? The reason the new firmware didn't work was caused by the fact that my program for slot 2 was not auto creating an IP table entry for the Intersystem Communications module.? I was able to fix it by manually adding the table entry.? On that note, anyone have an idea why the program that I put into the program 2 slot would not auto create the entry?? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
DAVE

The IntelliTouch is compatible with the iLink Adapter, and we have a module for that.?
?
The IntelliCenter, uses a different module/license but we have one. ?
?
Neither of those modules will work with EasyTouch. If you want to integrate the EasyTouch system, you need to install the Compool adapter and then you can use the Compool module from the Crestron database.

Yes we have acquired and used the ControlWorkS module many times in the past but Pentair is telling me that EasyTouch is not compatible with home automation. ?I wanna say we¡¯ve always used the CW module via RS232 and the iLink protocol

Whole House surge and Equipment Power Conditioner
What is the consensus on whole house surge at the electrical panels and equipment rack. Additionally, Power Conditioner at equipment rack as well.
I have use APC, Tripplite, Monster, Leviton, Panamax and Cyberpower.
Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Ideally I would like to monitor via Crestron.
Is Richard Gray Power Company still in business and if so is it worth the money?

Yes, you can control this with a ControlWorks module from their website. Works pretty well, just got to buy the license from them

Sorry to unearth an old thread...I¡¯m being asked to integrate an EasyTouch Compool to ?EasyTouch panel. ?They are currently using the Intellitouch ScreenLogic2 app for control. ?Can you point me in the right direction as to what they need for integration with Crestron? ?The old Compool had RS485 right on the board if I remember correctly. ?The new setup does not. ?I hate pool controllers btw...:). ?Everyone¡¯s setup always seems to be radically different from the next. ?Thanks in advance.

Hey guys and gals, ?I occasionally come across Pentair pool controllers with pretty sophisticated setups. ?We almost always integrate with basic functionality and have them refer to the app for advanced operation. ?The app is Screenlogic2. ?I¡¯ve tried in the past to figure out if there is a URL scheme to launch this app via a button press but never figured it out. ?Anyone know what it might be? ?And yes...I believe I¡¯ve tried all the obvious ones.

Re: Crestron RMC3 with Cisco Touch 10 and Codec Pro
Does the Cisco codec need to be registered first??
I haven¡¯t registered it yet as I was only testing the unit before it goes to site?

Nice!? Learn something new all the time.

If you're doing this, it's useful to set the Digital Join field as the "Quick Assign" field (that's the one with the lightning bolt by it).? That way you can just double-click a button and type the join number.? Do so by pressing Ctrl-Q while the Digital Join field is highlighted.? You can do the same thing to set it back to the Label field when you're done.? One of the most useful and least intuitive features in VTPro!

Re: Crestron RMC3 with Cisco Touch 10 and Codec Pro
Hi,
On the Codec make sure that you have enabled SSH, the user has integrator privelidges en the user doesn¡¯t have to ¡°update password after first login¡± enabled. The SSH public key will be provided by the codec after successfull log on. Mahalo,

? Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has ever used a setup with a processor and the Crestron Cisco Touch 10 module from the Application Market??
I¡¯ve added a button to the touch 10 with the name Display Power and ID Display Power.?
I¡¯ve then used the Widget Paramater ID as named above.?
I was wondering where I get the Unique ID from in the SSH part of the module??
It seems like I¡¯m not connecting at all to the processor though.?
I¡¯m receiving a SSH Invalid Parameter\x0D\0A string from the codec.?
This is my first time dealing with Cisco as we normally use Polycom Codec etcs.?
is there something on the codec back end that needs to be switched on or where do I find the Unique ID?

So today, I am converting a non SG for use on a TMPC-V12 running the SG firmware for a client.? Is it just me or does VTPro get worse with each update!? I created a page with a ton of buttons and want to use the click assign digital.? When I try this my buttons move all over the place, even though they are locked.? I go into project defaults and uncheck SHOW GRID and SNAP TO GRID but it doesn't go away.? Unlock all the buttons and highlight them to uncheck SYNCHRONIZATION and that doesn't work either.? WTF CRESTRON!? Does anyone know what version of VTP that I can roll back to that would fix these issues.? Just plain F'n aggravating.
