Re: https Get request through Crestron vs. browser
Are you including all the appropriate header information?
i have done http with both vs2008 and vs2018 with S#Pro and it generally works pretty good. ?
you could use postman to validate your headers and url. ?

https Get request through Crestron vs. browser
I'm trying to make an https get request to retrieve some weather information from the national weather service.? If I paste the url into the address bar of chrome it works perfectly.? If I make the exact same https get request through S# (vs2008) on a CP4 I get a response code of 403 - forbidden.
Any ideas on how to get the request to work through a Crestron processor would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for the help

Re: HZ-THSTAT SIMPL Feedback
I am looking for any feedbacks from the module Crestron HZ-THSTAT Basic Control (ver 1.7) that range from the "AnySpaceSysType_FB"" all the way down to "AutoDeadband_FB". I get no information from any of them. I get feedback from other parts of it and the module is completely connected to the thermostat. I am basically need info on how the thermostat is setup so that the touchscreen knows what to display. It was easy with the CHV module to get those feedbacks.

Re: Needing Suggestions - Connecting multiple buildings with Crestron
I¡¯m going to guess that¡¯s a Unicode encoding thing - characters are all 2-byte in Unicode with the high byte (the 2nd byte in little-endian) being zero.
it¡¯s impossible to say more without seeing the code though.

Re: HZ-THSTAT SIMPL Feedback
which feedback signals are you looking for?
|
I have a existing system with numerous CHV-THSTATs and they are starting to fail in numerous ways so we are switching them out for HZ-THSTATs. When adding them into the existing SIMPL programming most things on the HZ-THSTAT module (version 1.7) are self explanatory and transfer over from the CHV module (old programming that is being removed) but I am getting no feedback from all the setup outputs in the HZ module?(or anything from SLOT6 on the thermostat).?Without that feedback its hard to display the necessary buttons and current state like I did with the CHV module. Does anyone have experience with this type of situation, what am I missing? Thanks in advance!

hopefully this helps
Settings for Simple side are
NEO IP address 0.0.0.0
NEO passcode uses that password string input (from user name and password section user name is blank) - Alarm PIN 4 digits usually
Integration ID =User attribute 1 on module serial input -? number usually looks something like this 221004161323
Intgration Access = User attribute 2 on module serial input -?number usually looks something like this 123467845?
Default Keypad Partition = User attribute 3 on module analog input - usually value of 1
These settings you have to get from the alarm system
path of module I used
\\user\\SecuritySystem_DSC_PowerSeries-Neo_IP.pkg
make sure file is in that folder on processor
with that you just have to make sure the things that are setup on the alarm side are correct as per instructions

Re: Needing Suggestions - Connecting multiple buildings with Crestron
I am working on getting others involved so have a discussion with this IT Dept (hopefully get them fired) but in the meantime. I created a Simpl+ UDP module and connected to a XSIG but on Tx side I see \xC0\x05\x00\x04 but on the far side Rx is receiving \xC0\x00\x05\\x00x00\x00\x04\x00 not certain why since the UDP module is from Help file example.

Was this using the module or tcp/ip client?

This module will not run on 3 series processors, that's what I meant.

I'm using an AP4, 4 series processor if that's what you mean? It still didn't work.
There's no such thing as DSC Neo 4.x, currently it's v1.1 for it's control panel, thus I'm really not sure what you mean by 4 series. Please enlighten.

Re: TSRs unreachable...Sort of
Some wifi solutions allow to lock a client device to a dedicated AP.
Perhaps that might be a solution for this issue? ? Cheers,

Re: Needing Suggestions - Connecting multiple buildings with Crestron
?Changing IP/Hostnames every two months is not a security solution.?¡° Exactly! Actually, it?s pretty ridiculous and seems to be a measure coming from an IT-department that is not quite up-to-date.
However, I guess the problem is that they will most likely not be open to any suggestion coming from an ¡°A/V¡± guy. But at least asking what?s the rationale behind the requested changes would be a good start. ? Cheers,
Thorsten ? ? If IT insists on changing IP and Hostname, you are pretty much stuck. Autodiscovery, as suggested by Lincoln and others is a good alternative to using IP Addressses in IP table. But, that¡¯s no help if hostnames change. Having IT create DNS entries for devices would work, but if they have some odd security requirement to scramble device addresses, they would probably want to change the FQDN as well.
If your IT department is reasonable/cooperative, maybe they can explain the real motivation for making these changes every 2 months. Perhaps there are other options to achieve security requirements without ¡°breaking¡± all your Crestron systems.? Depending on their goals, an option (that would also provide actual security) would be to isolate the Crestron devices behind a firewall or use managed switches to create Allow lists to prevent unknown devices from reaching the Crestron processors. ¡°Zero trust¡± is the current trend in network security. In simple terms, this means nothing can access a device without permission. Changing IP/Hostnames every two months is not a security solution.?

Re: TSRs unreachable...Sort of
No I've seen this too. Also on TSW panels. The TSR remotes have the shittiest wifi connectivity. Sometimes they latch onto other access points that were once connected. No matter what you do its almost impossible to get them to forget another WAP. Console commands for it dont work, init/restore doesnt work- it will still not forget an older WAP. Only way I could get them to forget is by the factory restore button pushing BS. I feel like those in those scenarios we have the biggest issue with them being unresponsive as you posted.??
|
We've used all three of the iTach versions (relay, serial, IR) with VC4 and VC4-PC3 without much issue. The only problem I've experienced with the IR is the commands are kind of specific sometimes. Had to relearn commands for a couple devices.?

Re: Crestron Studio Nightmares Continue
It is possible to install an older version of Java alongside the latest one; you need to edit the FlexSDK to instruct it to use the older version, by editing the jvm.config file.

I tried your advice and started off wtih an IP address of 0.0.0.0, then later latch it to the IP address of the control panel. Still didn't work, sigh!?
Totally out of idea, maybe this Neo DSC control panel has some specific settings for Asia version.... !?

Re: Panopto remote recorder login
Chuck,
?
What hostname are you trying to connect to? Is it fully qualitied, partially qualified, or unqualified?
In text console on the processor if you testdns (that hostname) do you get a result that¡¯s not all 0s? (And if so, do you get the right result?)
Is it possible to share the listdns and ipconfig output from the processor?
?
At first blush this sounds like a lower level network issue than the driver
?

Subject: [crestron] Panopto remote recorder login
?
Hello,
I have been going around?in circles with Panopto, Crestron, and our network group
I have taken the Crestron Panopto demo program and loaded it onto a Crestron processor DMPS150 and have connected it to the campus network directly.
I am able to, from my desk, login to the Panopto remote recorder using user/recorder/server/etc. info on the demo touch panel. I can name a recording, preview the camera, and start/stop a recording, start/stop stream and receive the stream
key to the Extron SMP recorder. This works without an issue
Next scenario and?what I need to?work:
I take the same Crestron processor from my desk and go to the rack where the existing processor is located. I plug my test processor into the same network cable as the existing processor. I configure the network settings to match the existing
processor so NAT translations will still work as it's now behind a router.
After I enter my user/server/recorderurl/etc and click Login I get a screen almost immediately? that says "Unable to Connect to Panopto Server" and an option to Reconfigure. These are messages on the demo touch panel program.
The only thing different between these two scenarios?is that the one that doesn't work is sitting behind a router and goes through a NAT on its way out Panopto?to?login.
Panopto says it's not their problem and that my login info is correct.
Crestron has told me that they don't know how the module works because they didn't write it. Yet it's on their market place.?
Our network group says they don't block anything going out so it must be a Panopto or Crestron config problem.
Will this work behind a router? NAT???Is there a certain configuration that has to be set up for this to work? Any ideas that I can throw at them to check?
