Re: Concord 4 Control

 

Thank you for your reply. The customer can control it via the Concord 4 panel, but I couldn't handle it via Crestron. Is it possible to set alarm via RS232. I know we can arrange an alarm via Relay, but I want to use RS232.


Just add power module errors

 
Edited

I don't know S+ well enough to fix this annoyance.? Has anyone fixed their modules to get rid of these errors?? Or could point me in the right direction to fix.

Re: Concord 4 Control

 

correction for arming no delay

2 (stay) or 3 (away), Code if required, 4? ?

Not sure why you would arm no delay or silent mode for away.? Assuming that there are still people in the house.


Re: Concord 4 Control

 

The solution for that is to use a normally-closed relay, then have the Crestron processor open that relay when needed.

that if the security is armed and the processor reboots it will open the relay
and set off the alarm.

Re: Concord 4 Control

 

You don't need to poll the system as it provides unsolicited feedback.? Yes you can arm it how ever is needed.? Couple of things to be aware off.? If you want a single press to arm, then the panel needs to be setup to quick arm.? Otherwise is will always want the code to arm.? The other issue that you will have is arming to away.? The panel works intuitively, in that if you try to arm away and a entry/exit zone doesn't trip during the exit delay the panel will arm to stay (assuming that you didn't leave).? We always tied a Crestron relay to a zone and learn as a normal open entry/exit zone.? Setup a macro that will send the away command (3 Key + Code if not set to quick arm) then close, then open the Crestron relay so that the panel sees a entry/exit zone trip.? Couple of things to keep in mind about arming the system.? I don't recommend that you give access to arm it without delay remotely.? You will get a lot of false alarms.? If you do want to give them access to arming without delay via an app, then use the feedback from the app that says whether it is using the address 1 vs address 2 to enable those buttons.? Most common control you will use is the keypad as follows

3 Arm away with delay
2 Arm stay with delay
1 Disarm (Requires the code, regardless of whether quick arm is enabled)

here is an example of how to you silent arm.? The same applies to arming without delay.

?arm no delay.? 4, 2 (stay), Code if required
arm silent 5, 2 (Stay) or 3 (away) code if required


Re: Construct Headaches

 
Edited

I just finished my first project using Construct for the TST-1080. I built it from scratch instead of dealing with import issues. I'm sure I'm in the minority, but as a web developer I have to say I like it. It seems to be faster to build pages in Construct than VTPro. I also have become a fan of using contracts in SIMPL instead of joins.

The biggest issue I had was getting the KeyPad component to render correctly. I may just end up building my own Keypad widget since it's really just 12 buttons. Word wrapping in the Formatted-Text component also needs some work.

Turn off the Modern Layer manager to fix the sort issues.


Concord 4 Control

 

Hello, I am new to controlling the Concord 4 device and have no prior experience with it. I have only used the Crestron Modules. I have a question - I am able to receive feedback after sending a poll request, but I am unable to set the alarm via Crestron. When I searched online for information, I couldn't find much help. Can you guide me on how to change the alarm mode to Full, Home, Night or Off? I have tried using this combination, but it didn't work.

Re: Construct Headaches

 

A week or so ago, I tried a small project on Construct and eventually switched over to Smart Graphics.

I had the same type of Build errors. I also had older testing files that suddenly wouldn't build properly.? Updating to the current release corrected the build issue.

The layer manager is really bad about the DIV and Graphics objects jumping?to the top layer when switching tabs. Switching to another tab and back again usually restored the proper layers but not always.

After building and loading to a panel, there was an intermittent issue where a Widget (subpage) would show with nothing driving the join. Toggling the join would usually get it in sync but in one instance it was just sticky and I had to take the panel to setup?and back out and then it drew properly... I just couldn't risk having that issue in the field.

Running the ch5z file loaded as a webpage?had an issue where the background was showing a different color than the panel itself.

I imagine that most of these issues could be worked through, but with everything?bunching up for end of year completion, there was no extra time to allocate. On the other side of it, I have a project that I can use to test against future versions of Construct.

try deleting the SPlsWork folder in your project folder.

Construct Headaches

 

Is anyone else finding Construct to be a huge PITA?

Created a new Solution with Pages, Widgets, Components. Assets...and when Building the Solution, I get a "Build Finished with Errors: Value cannot be null. (Parameter 'key') error.

No indication as to where this may be a problem in the Solution. Have to systematically copy the project folder to a new folder, open the copied Solution, then delete Pages til it builds without error, then repeat the process on that Page, deleting components until I find the errant one.

With Builds being ridiculously slow, this is a painful, tedious, and frustrating process.?

Finally found an HTML Text component, that, while named, had no text in it.?

Would have helped if the Build process would direct you to where the actual errors are in the Solution!

Generally....the program is slow to respond to Component position/size changes, no Save As, the VTPro import is useless (IMHO).

Grrrrrr....

C'mon Crestron....where are the updates to this? I signed up for the EAP program, but it's been crickets on response to moving forward with that.

Gas fireplaces are a wonderful amenity in a home.? For this reason, the automation of gas fireplaces is a frequent request fielded by professional smart home integrators.? However, this poses significant safety risks for homeowners and liability risks for smart home integrators.? So, this isn't something that should be done without careful consideration.

This article looks at different ways of automating the operation of gas fireplaces with a focus on safety.

You can find the article here:

I've found a new site to host my blog so for those that want to see even more content I've written about smart home technology you can find that using the link below. The process of exporting all my old content from Blogger and importing it into WordPress was far from perfect. So there are formatting issues with old posts and images that didn't import. I will see what I can do about correcting some of these issues over time.

Re: Apple TV Select Button

 

Sitting in front of my AppleTV right now.
Using Sony Blu-ray codes learned to ATV.
No press and holds or any additional logic of any kind.

There are not 3 states for the command/button, there are 2. ?The regular press selects the icon as expected. If I continue to hold the button it pops up a little submenu on the ATV (the item popup as described by ckangis) which also allows for moving and deleting the app (which is the wiggle mode). ?I¡¯m not saying that the additional logic wasn¡¯t necessary in the past but with the current OS on the ATV just learning the Sony universal Blu-ray codes provides full functionality without any additional logic.

I for one have never heard of the part#?C2N-CBD-P-KP-ON-OFF...
only the C2N-CBD-P


Re: Apple TV Select Button

 

In our deployments we have been using a P+H for many years. We discovered at some point there was a reboot IR command for ATVs, so we use a P+H with a .1s pulse time that triggers the normal press, and 6 second hold performs a reboot. I have had only 1 call so far with this new select issue, and on that job I changed the press pulse time from .1s to 1t and that corrected it on that job. While I would think .1s is short enough, I am wondering if on that job (which is a very large job) that the .1s pulse is getting extended due to the amount of stuff running on the processor. I have seen that type of behavior before. Otherwise all our other jobs either they arent having the issue or the clients havent exposed it yet.? ?


Re: Cresnet ID resets to 01 for C2N-CBD

 

Yep - from what I can tell they are just a type of C2N-CBD-P which are supposed to work. I also have two of them working on the same system with no issues, including one from the same batch.?
