Loytec LIP 3ECTC integration with Cretsron
Dear All,
In one of my current projects where advanced HVAC integration is required ,The HVAC devices ( Thermostats , Mix Boxes , VAVs? Etc..) are on a LON bus which is connected to an FT-10 to TCP/IP gateway/router from Loytec LIP 3ECTC. The HVAC contractor is using the LIP -3ECTC to bind and send?LON?SNVTs over IP to Honeywell EBI server ( Enterprise?building integrator).? ? my question? i get Crestron PRO3 controller to communicate over IP with the loytec and share the LON over IP SNVTs without using the CGE-LON240? and what will be the DATA telegram for the same?? Actually the Loytec LIP 3ECTC? is a FT10 router which can correspondingly forward or discard lon pakets from one port to another. any help will be much apprecioated thank you guys in advance? Regards; |
Re: Setting a Simpl# Array Size based on a constant in Simpl+?
You can just call an "initialize" function of some sort and passing in your #DEFINE_CONSTANT identifier. Then in your C# you would have something like:
public void Initialize(int size) { array = new ???[size]; }I've done this before when I know I only need an array of a max size (i.e. for I/O purposes for some functionality). The only difference here is that you need to ensure that the array is initialized so that it's not null if you go to use it before initialization, and you can't mark it as readonly either (since you need to be able to set it from outside the any constructor). SIMPL+ can only call the parameterless constructor, you have no control over that. (Read the template comments when you first create a new SIMPL# Library.) Arrays are fast since they are primitive, so if all you need is basic array features it should be fine to use an array. If you're developing a framework of some kind it is better to stick with encapsulation however. When instantiating a List<T>, it is good practice to set the initial capacity whenever possible to avoid unnecessary reallocations. -- ?

Re: Compiler Error "Local"

Thanks all for the input...
In the end it was not a "LOCAL" error.? I don't know why the compiler was listing it as such.? Apparently the signal list always shows "LOCAL" in the list regardless if you have any connection under that label or not.? SOOOOOO.... you cannot track "LOCAL" via the signal list or through the modules. DON'T start deleting modules out of shear frustration looking for "LOCAL" as it is a waste of time and causes endless track and repair issues. So what was it... (at least in this situation, in my program) INTERSYSTEM COMMUNICATIONS SYMBOL I use them to reduce the network load to prevent unnecessary updating to crosspoints.? I don't know if this is the correct usage of this symbol... BUT... what I just learned... if you do a global rename and the label is on an intersystem com symbol... it will update as - undefined. SOOOO... I had "one" undefined or green line in the intersystem symbol.? The compiler, I guess, is not smart enough to show you this error item so it labels it as "LOCAL" error. I have a GOOOOOOOOD amount of intersystem symbols so this was indeed very irritating to track down. There was a clue that I should have seen right in the beginning and if you are reading this trying to track down your issue (in that you fell into the same problem as I had) ... most likely in your compiler error log within two or three lines of the failure error, you will see a connection error of something you don't determine very important to deal with at this time like an end of line instruction (like turn on this light...)? ... open it and it will show fine which mean it "should not be" a compiler error... follow your connections and you will land at the connected but undefined label.? Re-label, go kick your cat,? fart on your dog, and move on. ... again thanks guys for commenting and helping |
Re: Lutron integration issue
Hi Guys,
We have continually had issues with the third party lighting licensing on Crestron processors. The Crestron processors block communications based on the MAC address of third party lighting systems such as Lutron, Vantage etc. The way we implement our systems now is to put the lighting controllers on a separate VLAN and configure inter-VLAN routing in our routers/switches between our "Control" VLAN and "Lighting" VLAN. This way, the MAC address is not passed across VLAN's so Crestron will not block connections to the lighting controllers. This also eliminates the need to request the third party lighting license from Crestron. In some cases where we have enabled authentication on the Crestron processors (which blocks the telnet port) we have configured Lutron to use a different port for telenet and set the port on the TCP/IP connection in the Crestron program to this new port. We have never had a problem with this method to date. Hope this helps, Rob Maher. Liquid Automation NZ. |
Re: Anyone seen iOS 14.1 brake Mobile Pro?
It could potentially be that they installed the Mobile instead of Mobile pro. They both sent me the screen shot settings but think both apps look the same. I haven¡¯t looked at the free old Mobile version in years.

Re: 3 series Processor Auto hard reset - looking for Opinions on Doing it daily
I just want to chime in and say that there's no reason to limit the uptime of a modern Crestron processor. I have some with 700+ days of uptime (client doesn't have a maintenance contract so never firmwared) and they are still solid. They're built to be powered on 24/7 for years and doing a regular power cycle isn't going to help extend the lifetime of the processor.
I remember as a radio station IT administrator having a couple mission critical broadcast servers and purpose-built embedded PC boxeswith uptimes of ~5 years (radio stations don't like planned downtime), just happily running server 2012. Systems that are stable like that should never need to rebooted, and properly configured and programmed Crestron processors are in that same league. |
Re: AV3 not communicating after power outage
You tried the recovery procedure pressing HW and then SW 5 times. Then waiting for it to recover? We had a pro3 do something similar where the router was hosed up and firmware updates couldn¡¯t even get into the router.
Believe the tech did the recovery a few times and it came back |

Re: Crestron Home OS3 HR remote customization
Hi Ryan, thank you for the reply. ?I'm confused by what you wrote. ?in SIMPL, there is no default behavior for any of the buttons on the hr-150 besides the backlight. ?You have to define what all the buttons do via their digital outs. ?So in SIMPL you can define exactly what you want it to do.
It doesn't make sense to me that a power button could only be for the off state. ?I would assume it should turn on as well. Thanks. |
Anyone seen iOS 14.1 brake Mobile Pro?
I¡¯ve had a few clients call me in the last few days saying that they get ¡°Platform not supported¡± messages, that are running 14.1 on the latest iPhone.
Works on my phone that runs 13.6 Not a setting issue on their phones, they sent me screen shots etc. Thoughts? Thanks! |
Re: 3 series Processor Auto hard reset - looking for Opinions on Doing it daily
It can be a useful guard against undiagnosed memory leaks.? I used to schedule weekly reboots for larger 2-series programs to keep them responsive.? Haven't found it necessary on 3-series.

Maybe I could sort of understand if you didn't want it running 24/7 if you wanted to save electricity or something or thinking you could extend the life of the processor. But to reboot it just for the hell of it doesn't seem useful.? |

FYI, I was suggesting loading an older version of your SMW file in case it got corrupted, not SIMPL Windows itself. On Thu, Oct 29, 2020 at 3:18 PM Ivan Wild <c_rezz@...> wrote: Thanks for the replies (BB, Jeremy, Steve) |

Crestron Home OS3 HR remote customization
Hi All,
New to OS3 and trying to customize the button behavior of an HR-150 remote in the system. ?In the Actions & Events -> ?Actions section of setup for the remote, there only appears options for the 8 hard buttons at the top of the remote. ?Is there a way to customize the Power button? ?Right now it only turns the room off. ?I'd prefer to have it toggle the last source on/off, but I don't see an option in OS3 to do this. Any ideas? ?Thanks in advance! |
