Re: SWAMP source 'Signal Present'
Those signals are on Slot-02 (Sources) of the SWAMP's Simpl symbol. I've only used the feature once, about 10 years ago, and was told it worked as expected. The system was programmed remotely, and I never actually saw it in person.

SWAMP source 'Signal Present'
Hi All,
The Sonnex Tool in toolbox provides a lot of info about the SWAMP system, including if a signal (audio) is present on a source.
I'm looking to use this info, but I don't see anything in the SMW/Device slots for this.
Am I missing something or is there not a way to use this info?

Re: S# interaction with clz files
They're ZIP files, you should be able to unzip them in C# to get a file list.? Not sure what you'd do with them from there, it's just a bunch of DLL files.

Monitoring Systems (Like OVRC and Domotz)
Hi All,
I have used network monitoring tools for ~10 years now, starting with iHiji. We are using Domotz now. Due to substantial $$ increases with Domotz (site pricing has gone from $16 to $35 in less than two years!!), we're open to options and wanted to see what others have found useful.
iHiji was still the most integrated with Crestron until it was purchased by C4. Domotz has many of the best features that it had and does a better job in many ways, though it really lacks in Crestron integration.
OVRC has never gone beyond really nice toy IMO, but it is free, so you get what you pay for...
?
Ultimately I'm looking for a refined dashboard with alerts, integration within the app, ex: auto-relate POE ports with devices, provide remote control over those ports and also for PDU outlets for rebooting, etc and ultimately bi-directional integration with Crestron like we had with iHiji so processors and send alerts to the dashboard and info can come back to trigger things in the program...
?
Any other systems out there that people are happy with??
?
TIA!

Re: Anyone noticing slowdowns/failures in loading to 4-series processors lately?
This issue has been such a pain for such a long time I decided to create a macro on MobaXterm and assign a hot key to it.
Before uploading to slot-1, for example, I trigger the following macro:
RETURN
progreg -p:1 -u
SLEEP=5000
killprog -p:1
RETURN
Then I assign it to Ctrl+F1
You will have to create one macro for each program slot.
Like others noticed, when problems arise, the processor is still responsive from other terminal programs (such as MobaXterm) so I typically just send a reboot command to get things back on track.
But consistently using the macro above before any upload will reduce the frequency of this pesky quirk.

Re: Anyone noticing slowdowns/failures in loading to 4-series processors lately?
Here is a solution.

Crestron should have written Toolbox in C# not SIMPL+ :)

Re: Anyone noticing slowdowns/failures in loading to 4-series processors lately?
Here's what I've found by aggregating this thread and some others, and from my own testing.
Feel free to copy this into a .txt if you want to hang on to it (Courier font will keep the alignment).
And definitely let me know if something here isn't right!

These are useful for when one slot manages the programs in other slots:
?
STOPPROG ? - ?Stops the program (leaves it registered, even though it says something about unregistering)
? ? ? ? ? ? ? STOPPROG -p:1 ? (stops the program in slot 1)
?
PROGRESET ?- ?Restarts or starts the program, if one is loaded and registered
? ? ? ? ? ? ? Same as triggering the SIMPL > CP4N > SYS MONITOR > SYS CONTROL input labeled "start"
? ? ? ? ? ? ? Same as DEBUGGER > SIMPL DEBUGGER > RESET PROGRAM
? ? ? ? ? ? ? Same as the RESTART button in the Toolbox program transfer dialog
? ? ? ? ? ? ? Useful for observing runtime initialization in Debugger, since it doesn't kill a Debugger session like loading new code does?
? ? ? ? ? ? ? PROGRESET -p:1 ? (restarts the program in slot 1)
?
PROGREG ? ?- ?If you unregister a slot, it will no longer start up after a reboot
? ? ? ? ? ? ? This is useful if you want to control when a program starts, and only have it happen when you manually register & start it
? ? ? ? ? ? ? Loading a new program will always register it and start it, so you have to manually stop and unregister it after loading
? ? ? ? ? ? ? Unregistering a program while it's running will do nothing immediately (the program keeps running); a RESET will fail
? ? ? ? ? ? ? Registering a program does nothing immediately, but it can now be started (PROGRESET)
? ? ? ? ? ? ? These two commands aren't acknowledged in the console, but they do work (SIMPL > SYS MONITOR gives feedback immediately)
? ? ? ? ? ? ? PROGREG -p:1 ? ? (registers the program in slot 1)
? ? ? ? ? ? ? PROGREG -p:1 -u ?(unregisters the program in slot 1)
? ? ? ? ? ? ? PROGREG ? ? ? ? ?(gets currently registered programs; reports program ID tag if program has been started since registering)?
?
______________
?
These are helpful for loading new code if Toolbox isn't getting it done (can be done entirely with PuTTY and FileZilla):
?
KILLPROG ? - ?Stops the program and unregisters it; deletes all the DLLs; program cannot be restarted
? ? ? ? ? ? ? Toolbox transfer seems to only do a STOPPROG, so this is more thorough
? ? ? ? ? ? ? Once the program is killed, a Toolbox transfer will usually work; if not, use PROGLOAD
?
PROGLOAD ? - ?Unzips the .lpz and starts the program
? ? ? ? ? ? ? Do this after KILLPROG and transferring the new .lpz into the program folder using FileZilla
? ? ? ? ? ? ? Debugger will need to find the .sig locally on your computer (Toolbox transfer can include it)
?
INITIALIZE - ?When everything's misbehaving and the processor needs a fresh start; kills all programs, wipes NVRAM and log files
? ? ? ? ? ? ? Doesn't affect network settings (a RESTORE would reset those, but that's not usually necessary)
? ? ? ? ? ? ? Do this via PuTTY if Toolbox won't connect
?
RESTORE ? ?- ?Reset installer-configurable settings (DHCP, etc.)
?
BETACLEANUP- ?Clears protected sectors of memory responsible for out-of-the-box functions (on devices with OOTB functionality)
? ? ? ? ? ? ? Reinstalls everything from the onboard backup image
? ? ? ? ? ? ? Same as using HW-R(x1)/SW-R(x5) recovery procedure
?
______________
?
Things to try when you can't communicate with the processor via Toolbox Text Console or System Info tool:
1. Use PuTTY instead (SSH, port 22)
2. See if you can access the processor's web page to do a reboot

Can you solder wires to the led contacts on the

Seco-Larm SM-226L-3Q Overhead Door Magnetic Contact,
2.75-inch Gap, Open/Closed Loop Circuits (3 Wires), 24"

I have used this ELK sensitive relay for

getting reliable operation with only 1 milliamp driving

You may also have success using this light

Please share what worked for you.
I
use these photoresistor relay modules for various things
in my own system
For instance I have one with the sensor over the "Done"
LED on the panel of my washing machine and it triggers the
relay which is ran to an I/O on my processor so I know
when the laundry is done. Works perfect.

Re: Anyone noticing slowdowns/failures in loading to 4-series processors lately?
That¡¯s why I just delete the DLLs rather than the entire folder ¨C it¡¯s enough to stop the program from being able to restart itself but not quite thermonuclear.

Using the web interface and stopping the program is just as unreliable as using toolbox and text console. Its luck of the draw if it stops cleanly or not. I would rather not delete the program folder as there are config files saved there
I need for my program. For me when it fails to stop I just let it do its thing for 5 mins and it will eventually restart the previous program, and then I can usually just load in or stop the program manually first. Very rarely do I have to power cycle it.?
One thing I do notice is it only seems to happen on Slot 1. That is my main AV slot, and I have several subslots for Lighting/HVAC/Shades/etc, and whenever I load to those I never have any issues. I did open a case with tech support (case#
00260226 feel free to reference) and they wanted the Info Tool logs and program as usual and of course are blaming the program as theres errors in the log. I told them no matter what errors are there it shouldnt prevent stopprog from working. This has to be
a firmware related issue and I see it on PRO4 and CP4. If I load the same code to a PRO3/CP3 I have no such issues. It is getting very frustrating as I dont know if I am going to completely kill the system. And if I am loading remotely which is 99.9% of the
time and I dont have a Wattbox or other to power cycle it I will be screwed.?
