I'm happy to share it here but I have no way to upload photos and screenshots.? ? Anyway the problem is resolved now. Thanks everyone for your help! |

Updating CLZ
#simplsharp
I received an old program.
Compiling it gives an error: "SimplSharpParseJson.usp : simplsharphttplibrary.dll cannot be used due to a dependency on Newtonsoft.Json.Compact, version 3.5.0.0.. Press Help for details." Is it possible to just replace the common DLL files in the CLZ with new ones? Obviously the best case scenario is that that I would have the VS2008 solution and related files to be recompiled. |
Re: Crestron Home simple relay driver
Thank you all for your help and suggestions,
I already have CP3 with Crestron Home Triggers events, but finally I want to remove CP3 and use only CP4-R. The best for me could be simple driver to control relays in CP4-R. I am S# beginner so maybe there will be someone to share such driver.
?
If not I will try to write something by myself. |
Re: TSR-310 xPanel test
TSR-310 doesn't support XPanel emulation; official stance is that you need the physical remote to test at this time. When running a TSR-310 .vtz as XPanel you won't have an option to Enable Faceplate to emulate hard buttons. Only TSR-302 .vtz has an associated faceplate. When in SIMPL you won't have a "TSR-310 - XPanel 2.0 Simulator" definition under the list of Ethernet devices. Only TSR-302 has a "simulator" hardware definition. TSR-310 hw def isn't viable because it handles update requests / feedback differently. I'm not sure offhand if you can point it to TSR-302 simulator def to get it partially working in the meantime. These items were being tracked in BR 739 "TSR310 - XPanel Emulator Issues - Not Updating Joins & Faceplate Missing." This groups.io thread was added to BR 739 for tracking. |
Re: VTP Reserved Join: Start SONOS
That reserved join opens the Sonos App on a TSW panel. I have used it way back when Sonos was first controlled (poorly) by Crestron and before they gave you the jump thru the Media Player Sonos icon. I have also used that reserved join to make a single purpose TSW panel- I had it as the Transition Complete Digital Join on the first page of a single page TSW project where the panel was used only for Sonos music control, and not tied to any control system. When the panel booted up it would flip right to the Sonos App. Quite the expensive in-wall ipad but I dont mind making money haha.?

Unless there's a better way of using the .PKG file without renaming it to .ZIP? How else can I use this .PKG file? Am I missing something really obvious? Did you log in with a dealer/partner level account at support.crestron.com to gain access to the Online Help article? That article walks through how you upload the .pkg file to the \user\ folder on the processor, and then specify the filepath to the .pkg in the DriverFile$ serial input string on the module. When LoadDriver is pulsed on the module it will handle unzipping the .pkg file on the processor behind the scenes. You only need to unzip the .pkg and inspect the .dat/.dll files in Notepad++ if UserAttributes need to be populated on the module. It's all in the article - just make sure you work through it carefully step-by-step. |
Re: CP4 -> D3 Program (on same CP4) -> CEN-GWEX-ER: No communication with CLW-SWDIMEX-P's
Just ran into this myself...? TB recommends setting up a "connects" user profile in the CP4.??
Then in the gateway, text console the following command. SETCSAUTH -N:username -P:password? Using the new connects user credentials. |
Re: Crestron Home simple relay driver
Ultamation have a similar solution to the CC bridge (though ours isn't free), though in this case, I'm guessing that the standard Crestron Home Triggers (in SIMPL, "Pyng (Listen for Pyng Events) v1.1 (cm)") should do what you need without any 3rd party solution.? Just remember to enable legacy ports in Crestron Home.

Re: DSC PowerSeries Neo
In Crestron-land things that end .pkg are a Crestron Certified Driver.? That could be either an IR file for Crestron Home, or a driver bundle like the one you're looking at.
Apologies if this has already been mentioned - I haven't read back through the whole thread... To use the driver in SIMPL Windows you have to copy the .pkg file onto your Crestron Home processor and then use the SIMPL "Crestron Certified Drivers Security System Ethernet|Serial v2.0 (cm)" module to load the driver and communicate with it.? That module is a generic wrapper for all security drivers, so you only get functions that the generic wrapper exposes. You don't need to unzip the .pkg - just point the wrapper at the file (serial join) and trigger "Load Driver".? Follow any docs that come with the driver as there may be User Attributes that need setting up, Best regards, Oliver |
Re: DSC PowerSeries Neo
I understand the downloaded zip file contains a .PKG file, renaming this .PKG file to .ZIP and use an unzipping program, you can see the contents being just these few files: SecuritySystem_DSC_PowerSeries-Neo_IP.dat SecuritySystem_DSC_PowerSeries-Neo_IP.dll libSecuritySystem_DSC_Shim.so SecuritySystem_DSC_PowerSeries-Neo_IP.pdf ? Unless there's a better way of using the .PKG file without renaming it to .ZIP? How else can I use this .PKG file? Am I missing something really obvious? |
