Re: DSC PowerSeries Neo

 

Did you log in with a dealer/partner level account at support.crestron.com to gain access to the Online Help article?

I did login to try to read this article, but it says "the answer is no longer available".?

I wrote to Crestron True Blue support, they gave me a detailed explanation and solution with screen shots. 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!


Topics in Home Automation - New Article in Residential Tech Today

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

My latest article, "Health and Fitness Tracking with the Withings ScanWatch¡± is being published by the good folks at Residential Tech Today Magazine on their web site.

Apple and Google have both recently released new smart watches.? However, if you don't need to make phone calls from your watch or to control your smart home on the watch's tiny screen, there is another option.? The Withings ScanWatch is a hybrid smart watch with advanced health, fitness, and sleep tracking features.? And, unlike a traditional smart watch, it boasts a massive 30 day battery life between charges.? A feature that traditional smart watches can't come close to equaling.? Finally, you don't have to give up all the features of a traditional smart watch; such as reading text messages on the watch's display as they arrive.

You can find the article here:



For those interested in earlier articles that I've written, you can find those here:



Finally, for those that want to see even more content I've written about smart home technology you can find that here:

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.


Crestron Home time format

 

Hi to all
Have Crestron Home processor and TSW-1070 in Crestron Home mode. TSW always shows time in am/pm format. How to made it show 24hours format?
Thanks


Re: Does anyone have an AirMedia 2 series operating system image?

 

No, we have 200s that technically belong to customers as spares. I'm sure a handful of people have sandbox units or old ones from dated installs. Just curious if someone has tried it/has managed to pull a file


Re: Crestron Home simple relay driver

 
Edited

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

 

Thanks, Dave...I always appreciate you getting us the answers that we need, even if it ticks (me) off...:)

Consistent inconsistency in the last few years has added to our suffering out here in the wild...


Re: VTP Reserved Join: Start SONOS

 

That's what I thought, just wanted to confirm, Thanks!!


Re: CP4 -> D3 Program (on same CP4) -> CEN-GWEX-ER: No communication with CLW-SWDIMEX-P's

 

Thanks for the replies guys!? Will definitely check these out if I run into the issue again.


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: CP4 -> D3 Program (on same CP4) -> CEN-GWEX-ER: No communication with CLW-SWDIMEX-P's

 

Yeah, I ran into basically the same issue last week as well.? Roiling the firmware back to 1.4230.0015 resolves this.? For reference,??speaks to this exact issue.


Re: CP4 -> D3 Program (on same CP4) -> CEN-GWEX-ER: No communication with CLW-SWDIMEX-P's

 

What is your CP4 set for when you run SECUREGATEWAYMODE? If its Default it should accept secure and non-secure connections.?


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.?

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: Crestron Home simple relay driver

 

Apologies Kamil but I misread your original post. Our CCI Bridge module only currently works with 4-series so would not be a good solution for the CP3 at this time.


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?
