Re: Crestron APP block notification #app

 

The best way to do this would probably be to turn on ¡°Guided Access¡± mode. ?Essentially, this turns the iPad into a Crestron app only (or whatever app you lock it into). ?You can enable it in the accessibility settings near the bottom of the settings.
I¡¯m not sure how this affects notifications though.
It just locks the iPad on that app and requires a password to unlock it.


Re: wake on lan #crestron

 

An IP Helper address allows you to send broadcast traffic across vlans.? Speak to your network Admin.? They should know how to implement it.? Unfortunately I don't know a great deal about it.? It was actually my clients network Admin that implemented it for me on a job a while back.??

We had 3 crestron processors on one vlan, that had to control over 400 tvs spanning about 8 different vlans.? ?Every TV used WOL to turn on and it all works perfectly.??


Sirrus/XM Comtrol and Feedback

 

Good afternoon,
Crestron doesn't make satellite radio sources anymore.? Is there a current product out there I can use that gives me control and feedback


REGULATORY MODEL: CEN-RFGW-EX2 vs CEN-RFGW-EX the latter works far better with MLX-2

 

So I ran into an issue with some fleebay upgrades I was attempting to do on my home system.

I have a ML-600 and it is awesome but I liked the idea of feedback and a more modern look so I bought a MLX-2 and a gateway.?I stay pretty old as far as hardware goes as I am just using this in my home and it is more of a hobby for me.

I ran into this issue and saw no posts anywhere in regards to this while attempting to troubleshoot. Everything I found here and on reddit said MLX-2 remotes suck and the range is garbage. MLX-3 is the only way to go.

So I first installed the?CEN-RFGW-EX (IC:5683C-CENRFGWEX2) and downgraded the firmware and loaded my program. Worked fine at my desk but the range was like 5 feet and the remote would randomly go RF out of range.

Looked at the Channel configuration and tried 15 and 20. Didn't matter. Turned off all wifi in the house I live out in the country so no neighbors to worry about. Still no change. Bought another MLX-2 and tried that. Same result. Behaves the same way.?Added an Alfa 9db antenna and got some benefits. Was able to actually install it in the Master and use it with some "lag" but good enough for me while I wait for the MLX-3 to show up.

I also bought another CEN-RFGW-EX gateway because I would need one to stay dedicated to the MLX-2 remote and I would just us it in the office or out in the shop for Audio and playing around with.

I received the second CEN-RFGW-EX and was adding it to the system in anticipation of my MLX-3 but for the time being I figured I would use the second MLX-2 remote on it in the office. Low and behold the Range is roughly 40-60 feet with the factory antenna and it works beautifully no lag on feedback. Rock Solid.

I compared the part numbers on the 2 gateways and they are the same but the IC number is different. I'm thinking I just lucked out with the second unit and the old IC (5683C-CENRFGWEX) without the 2 at the end works well with the MLX-2 and the older firmware and I'm betting my MLX-3 and the new firmware is going to work great on the one that ends in 2.

I just wanted to check with the pro's and see if I'm correct on this or is the first gateway I got just defective.

Thanks,
John.


Re: Occupancy/motion sensor

 

Have a look at this
Small, self contained, and we have sucessfully used them for many projects.


Published Voltage Fluctuations

 

4?Does Crestron have stated voltage findings on when processors or devices may experience lock ups when it comes to voltage fluctuations and/or voltages Neutral to Ground?

?

For instance Lutron processors will lock up at 108V or below, Samsung TV¡¯s experience issues at 2V+ neutral to ground. ??have stated voltage findings on when your processors may experience lock ups when it comes to voltage fluctuations and/or voltages Neutral to Ground?

Crestron APP block notification #app

 


Is it possible in iOS / Android applications to prohibit / block the display of notifications with access to the settings so that the tablet user cannot access the connection settings. In other words, how to restrict access to the Crestron APP connection settings in a public tablet?


Re: LiftMaster MyQ Garage Door openers

 

Ah I see what you're saying Tony.
I actually (and a friend also) found and extensively tested this issue ~4 years ago and beat on Crestron about it (mercilessly as usual!). My recollection is that they did fix this with the latest firmware.
Also, I think part of the issue is resolved when you use the LINKSTATE extender on the Gateway module. If you're not using this, the unit definitely will not let the system know when it comes back online, at least until a new transition...

Let me know it that works for you...


Re: wake on lan #crestron

 

thank you for your reply.
the processor and pc connected to the same managed switch , but in different subnets.
i believe the solution must come from the network configuration, but i don't know how.
what is the ip helper address ?
i have a working module for wol in the same subnet.

thank you,

assaf?

Needs a constant 12-24v feed and connects in to the digital in of your processor.

Yes, nobody (except explicitly authorized) should be able to get on the blocking list of an internal Crestron processor¡­

We stop exposing ports to the Internet a long time ago because oversea sources were constantly pounding them.? We now use OpenVPN if we need remote access.? If you absolutely must do port forwarding, I advise you to use a router where you can set up firewall rules and then only allow certain IP addresses (e.g. your IP addresses) to pass.


Re: LiftMaster MyQ Garage Door openers

 

The issue occurs with Simpl programs too, not just Crestron Home. However, it's usually easier to come up with a work-around with Simpl.

The problem is caused by the INET-IOEX-RYIO not reporting its input states on program start, so a closed or shorted input will show as open after a program reboot. Correcting the feedback will require either opening then closing the input again, or power-cycling the IOEX.

I normally run the IOEX's power through one of the relays, if they aren't both being used, then program that relay to always be on. That will cause a temporary interruption of power whenever the program restarts, and refresh the inputs' status. If both relays are being used, some other method could be used to reboot the IOEX, or I suppose rebooting the RF gateway would also work - although I haven't tried that.

Ive been using that IOEX for garage doors and it depends upon whether youre
doing it with PYNG or with Simpl. When you first start the system PYNG is
confused with the signal it receives as to whether the door is open or
closed. You have to cycle it once to make sure. THAT is a problem if you are
remote and trying to open your door remotely. A camera in the garage would be
good in addition to the magnetic contact for safety purposes.


Re: wake on lan #crestron

 

Lots more information required.? ?Did you physically just connect the networks?? Are the pc and processor still on different subnets??

I've done WOL before across vlans but had to get the network Admin to setup an IP Helper address.? ?

The magic packet string to send is easy to find.? There are modules on here that work fine.? Your network is the bigger issue.??

Re: Crestron Home (OS3) MMS 3e problem

 

We didn't have any issues with some MMS-3e zones not working with Crestron Home.? But we found the Crestron Home interface to be clumsy at best.? In particular, instead of just having one source name for each MMS zone, Crestron home broke the Source into a Source for Spotify, another for Pandora, and so forth -- Made for a very confusion source select page and no way to jump between different media types once you selected one.? We also had issues with the MMS-3e locking up constantly where we eventually had to replace it with some Sonos equipment.

Also, we have had some reliability issues with the MMS-3e where the Main Zone would work but the Zone-A and Zone-B would disappear from all interfaces including the Mirage App.? Eventually the Main zone would stop working too.


Authentication Blocked IP

 

Have you guys getting a lot of chinese ip getting block while trying to access your systems?

Took the time to geo locate the ips and all of them are from China.


Re: LiftMaster MyQ Garage Door openers

 

The device in my document is a simple MyQ wall button and my assumption is that it communicates the MyQ protocol over its buss as it wires directly into the same terminals as the more advanced wall control.
That's why I would *Expect* the opener to behave the same, BUT its all conjecture on my part....certainly an important detail to resolve!!

And I look forward to the 20th!? Da-Da-Daaaaa!!!...:)
