I've been looking into this as well.

The supplied Help file for the encoder makes it sound very confusing...

"RS232_Join - Setting this value will join the encoder's RS232 port to the decoder with the specified Device_ID."
"RS232_Control_String - This string is the serial data you wish to pass to the joined decoder."

And vice versa for the encoder Help.

Wait, so in order to use the RS232 port on a decoder, I have to connect an encoder to a decoder, then send my control string to the encoder, which will then pass through to the decoder? WTF...I can't just send strings to the decoder? Am I reading that correctly?

I am having issues controlling the display off the rs232 port of the zeevee decoder as well. Did you ever get this to work?

I had a case open with support for this exact issue and it never really got figured out. It would happen every few days where my location was set as default and it would un-default itself on its own. They sent me a test VTZ file to try and it didnt do it with theirs, so I loaded my original vtz back in and the problem stopped so I didnt really get an explanation why this is happening. Maybe remove and re-add your weather widget??

If you engage support again my case# was?210310-000467 although not sure if it will help.?

Hi,
? I have an odd issue with the weather widget grabbing a bogus area code and setting it as default. I have tried everything including hard coding it in the VT project and although it keeps the hard coded zip, it only takes a day or so for it to add this ghost address and setting it as default? The ghost address is always the same and just appears out of nowhere. I have initialized the panel and checked project up and down to make sure this zip is not in it, but somehow it keeps showing up. I have also had this happen on other site locations. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks!

Post a screenshot of your module and connection logic.?

Thanks Michael,

I tried the updated module, no joy.

No indication of a version change on the Application Market, but the?QSYSControlV5_0.clz file is vastly different in size compared with what I've downloaded in the past...

the module on the app market has been updated (silently) on Jan 24th. Maybe that helps?

Hello Tarik,

I see the problem you are having but it seems to be a problem with the Astronomical Clock symbol itself which is used in my module.? As you stated you are GMT +5:30, but the Astronomical Clock symbol only allows for a GMT Offset of 5 or 6, not 5.5 which is what you require.?

I would suggest you try using the GMT Offset of 5 and then add a 30 minute delay symbol to each of the Lights On, Lights Off output signals.? This will delay the action by 30 minutes to give you the extra 30 minutes you need to trigger events at the correct time.

Hope this helps.

The one thing that can sometimes trip people up with this method is when the lights get dimmed to zero.
If this happens, then zero is the new scene level.
The next time the scene is recalled, the lights will not turn on.
The only way to turn them back on would be to dim them back up.
Because of this, I had a client reverse their wishes to have that method of control.

Just a little something to be aware of...

The dat file has to be in the "Program ID Tag" folder (what is set in the Program Header in SIMPL Windows). You might have to reboot the processor a few times to get it to show up.

Hey there, I'm using a CP4N and unable to trigger events from the Event Scheduler module. I have the file "EventScheduling.txt" and "EventScheduling.dat" both with same content and located at \NVRAM\EventScheduling.dat or .txt

Simply this in the files

Zach,

No, you don't need to check the box.
The check box is only for allowing the keypad button to save to that existing scene.
I've done similar things as Chris ... use a TP to edit and save scenes.
It's simple to create a virtual KP with all of your scenes.? Definitely check the box on these buttons.
Then based on the room selected, the available scenes can be shown with their associated loads.
Loads levels can be adjusted and the scene can be saved with a hold of the button.

The check box does different things based on the type of button style that you select.

• Button press with dimming - the scene is overwritten at the end of any press-and-hold dimming operation.
• Button press without dimming - the scene is overwritten with a press-and-hold of the button.

I've rarely ever used the first method, because it seems ridiculous to overwrite the scene every time you dim.
The second method can be nice because I explain it like the "saving a radio station" method in a car.
For example, the top keypad button can be the scene with the scene loads on the remaining buttons below.
If the client wants to save the scene, they just adjust the load levels and hold the top button to save.
If they accidentally overwrite a scene, they can hold the top button for a longer time, and it will revert back to your programmed levels.

I hope this helps!

David,

Colorbeam is a low-voltage, DMX based lighting system that supports tunable white and RGB.
We've used Colorbeam products with success, but not with Crestron Home yet.
There was a Colorbeam driver released for Crestron Home a while back, and it looks like it supports RGB and tunable white.

Their system can be a bit quirky on initial setup, but once it's up and running, we haven't had any issues.

Good luck,
Brian

How many individual button presses does the single button cap (HZ-BTN-RKR5) for a Horizon keypad (HZ-KPCN) allow?
Is it only a single button press, or two button presses (Top and Bottom), or three button presses (Top, Bottom, and Center)?
Curios on the other keycap combinations as well.
On the road with no access to D3Pro, and the above info seems elusive.
Thanks!

Hi Daniel, I have gone though your QuickClient class and? it's almost ready to compile in my solution. I was able to create my own Tracer class and Converter class for string to byte[] and byte[] to string and String/bool/int? Eventargs class. I only have 1 thing left to fix with my solution and that is your STimer class and the methods you are using in this class TimeoutTimer.reset(), TimeoutTimer.stop(), TimeoutTimer.dispose(). As I am still learning are you able to share your Stimer class or steer me in the right direction as to how to begin my journey in dealing with timers?
You have been very helpful so far and I do not want to come across as abusing your generosity as I am very grateful so far.
Thanks again

David,

Tunable white lighting is typically DALI or DMX but can also be 0-10V.? The lighting fixture will have the driver in it.? You would order the fixture using the correct protocol and features needed by the system.

We have a lighting control platform that runs on Crestron processors and supports tunable white lighting.? The software is mostly commercial but there are a few residential systems running it.? We've done many tunable white lighting projects and our software has numerous features specifically related to make tunable white work practically.? Let me know if you're interested and I can get you more info.

Hi,

This is propably? stupid question, but how do I add an FM/DAB, Airplay, etc source built into the receiver to Crestron Home?

Thanks in advance
Kamil

I'm sure Brian will weigh in on this topic.
For me, I've used LL where the client only has control of it on touchscreen UIs, so YMMV.
Definitely Enable the LL on each Global Preset.
I believe that you have a scene on a button (Hardware or virtual) without checking the LL on that button, you can now just P+H for ~ 5sec. and the? scene will be updated.
You'd of course need some way to change the levels appropriately, which is why I only use TSW/iPad for this as if is a better user experience...
